Celebrating Sara Traficante: A Year of Listening, Leading, and Lifting Voices
As Sara Traficante wraps up her internship with Ministry Forum, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible work she’s done and the spirit in which she’s done it!
Sara preaching at St. Andrew’s Alma and Knox Elora on February 9th 2025.
Sara has been a deeply thoughtful and grounding presence in our community. She brings a combination of professionalism, warmth, and spiritual depth to everything she’s been a part of here at Ministry Forum. Sara really cares about people and working alongside her has been a constant reminder that faithful ministry is always relational at its core.
Whether it’s her love for worship music, her deep investment in her family, or her passion for inclusive and justice-oriented ministry, Sara’s presence has helped Ministry Forum reflect on who we serve and how we serve. Her lens of creativity and compassion has helped us ask good questions, and consider more deeply the contexts and cultures that shape our ministries.
Over the past year, Sara has not only been a thoughtful contributor to our space and we want to celebrate those contributions as this year of internship comes to an end.
