Who we are
Welcome to St. Katharine Drexel Parish! Founded on July 1, 2004, we're a relatively young parish of approximately 925 families. We're located 2 blocks west of the intersection of 26th Street and the Ellis Road. We strive to follow the example of our patroness, St. Katharine Drexel, by reaching out to those less fortunate in our community. We hope you'll join us for a weekday or weekend Mass and find a warm welcome in our parish community.
The mission of St. Katharine Drexel Parish is to gather together as a community of faith, sharing the Word of God with all of our neighbors through our words and example. We emphasize the sanctity of the Eucharist in our daily lives and encourage good stewardship and lifelong Catholic Christian education.
Our consistent message is "Come home to Christ".

Leader Bio:
I'm a native of Florence, SD, and have one brother and three sisters. I graduated from Northern State University and taught for several years before I went to St. Paul Seminary. After ordination, I served at St. Mary Parish and Roncalli High School in Aberdeen for 3 years before I went to graduate school to study Canon Law at the University of Ottawa.
Upon returning, I was pastor at Huntimer for 6 years while also serving as Chancellor of the Diocese for Bishop Dudley. I served at St. George Parish in Hartford for 7 years and also as Chaplain at O'Gorman High School for 4 years. I then returned to St. Mary Parish and Roncalli High School in Aberdeen for 9 years, and then moved to St. Mary Parish in Dell Rapids, where I served for 6 years.
After that, I directed the work of the Diocesan Marriage Tribual and was pastor at St. Dominic Parish in Canton. I've been a member of the Tribunal Staff for 30 years and have served as Judicial Vicar for 13 years. I will continue to oversee the work of the Tribunal for the foreseeable future. Â

Help me pray
Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.
