Meet our new Youth Minister
I would like to take this
opportunity to introduce
myself. My name is Mary Jo
Gallagher and I have been a
member of St. Katharine
Drexel Parish for three years.
My husband, Dan, and I have
been married for 31 years.
We have four children,
Sunshine, who is married to
Pat Silver; Michael, who is
married to Kateri; Chasity; who is married to Eric Soupir;
and Carrie, who is also a member of St. Katharine Drexel
Parish. I have one granddaughter, Kaitlyn, who is 7
months old.
My husband and I met at Search for Christian Maturity
when we were in high school and we have been involved
in that program in the diocese. I have been involved in
various youth ministry programs throughout Sioux Falls
and facilitated a youth group in my home when my
children were in high school.
I believe that our young people need to have an
experience of Christ’s love in their life.
My ministry objective is to aid our youth in faith formation
and assist them in fostering a relationship with Christ
through the Sacraments. Our youth are not the future of
the Church, our youth are the Church and they need to
be treated as such. I am very excited to be your new
youth minister and look forward to getting to know and
serve the youth of our parish.
