Young Adults

Hi, my name is Sierra Thompson. I am employed by the Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls through our new diocesan missionary program called Lumen Christi. Part of my work as the Lumen Christi Program Coordinator is to help form Young Adult ministry in the Aberdeen area. I grew up in Belle Fourche, SD and attended Augustana University in Sioux Falls. I have served as a Totus Tuus Missionary for two summers and also spent a year working at St. Joseph's Parish in Mobridge, SD. I am very excited to now be serving in Aberdeen through Lumen Christi and I can't wait to see what God has in store for this community! Please contact me if you are interested in our ministry or if you have questions!

Hi, I am Fr. Schulte. I will be helping Sierra with the young adult ministry. I am excited to be working with the Lumen Christi program to help further the faith and friendship amongst the young adults in and around Aberdeen. I am 30 years young and I am a newly ordained priest. I was ordained on May 28th, 2021. I am from Orient, SD, and went to Faulkton School K - 12th grade. I graduated high school in 2010. I went to SDSU and got my degree in Graphic Design. (2010-2014). After I graduated college I entered seminary. I spent 3 years in Cromwell Connecticut at Holy Apostles Seminary then transferred to St. Louis to Kenrick Glennon Seminary where I finished my formation and degree in Theology. I am so happy to be done with school and working in a parish as a priest. If you have any questions or concerns talk to Sierra, she knows way more than me! However, I am always willing to chat.
