Brianna Coyle, junior, is currently in her third season of being the varsity goalkeeper for St. Mary High School girl's soccer team. Brianna's volunteer work started nine years ago at the Holy Trinity Church in Hackensack. She has been an altar server for 8 years, a member of the youth group and has participated as a peer minister where she assisted in the preparation for Confirmation.
In 2007 Brianna was presented with a certificate of excellence for outstanding service to the Pastoral Care Department. Thanks to her dedication to her church at her eighth grade graduation she received the "Deacon Vincent E. Messina Scholarship Award"
for her effort and achievement, her loving practice of her Catholic Faith and her generous service to Holy Trinity Parish. Brianna also received the "Sister Dorothy Monaghan Scholarship Award" for her loving service and special care, for God's little people at Holy Trinity School.
Brianna's volunteer work also reached the Boys and Girls Club of Lodi as well. She started as a young Summer Adventure Club member but eventually turned into a Junior Staff member. In her four years of dedicated service to her club she quickly became the most well respected Junior Staff Member.
Her interest in the kids, love for helping others, and a work ethic that was outstanding eventually led her to a position on Boys and Girls Club staff. Her outstanding volunteer service also propelled her to be the current Secretary of the Keystone Club and a continual dedicated volunteer.
