OUR Priest

Father Tyler Mattson

I grew up just outside of Sioux Falls. I attended Christ the King Parish and School. I graduated from O'Gorman High School in 2009.

I attended the University of South Dakota for one year before entering seminary in St. Paul, MN. I was ordained a priest in 2017. Since then, I have served as the parochial vicar at Holy Spirit Parish, Sioux Falls, and Christ the King Parish, Sioux Falls. I have also served as the chaplain of O'Gorman Junior High and Christ the King Campus Ministry. Most recently, I was able to spend two years as pastor of St. Nicholas Parish, Tea, and St. Christina Parish, Parker. 

I love being a Catholic priest! I am grateful to be a part of Pastorate 17.

OUR Priest

Father Nick Haiar

I grew up in Sioux Falls and attended Catholic school K-12. I went to USD where I got a degree in biology. During my time in college, I had a big conversion. When I finished college, I entered the work force and that is when the idea of priesthood and seminary started to percolate up. Over the course of time, I choose to be a diocesan priest for our Diocese. I spent 6 years in seminary in St. Paul, Mn. I enjoy reading, drawing, exercising, and hunting. When I watch sports, I cheer for the Wisconsin Badgers and the Green Bay Packers. I enjoy most kinds of food and playing boardgames around the dinner table.
