Katie Aiello is originally from Moline, IL and was homeschooled from preschool through high school by her mom. After graduating high school, Katie attended Concordia University Wisconsin (CUW). There she majored in Exercise Physiology working towards becoming a physical therapist. In her senior year the doors to physical therapy seemed to be closing while the opportunities for deaconess studies came into view. Thus, upon graduating from CUW in 2018, she started in the deaconess program at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne. She has finished her course work for the deaconess program and started her year-long internship. The primary focus for her position at Trinity is to help with different children’s ministries particularly the Students of Solomon tutoring program, starting a Youth Group and helping with Sunday School. She met her husband, Gabriel, in college and they were married in 2019. Gabriel is in his second year of pastoral studies also at the Seminary. In February, they will be welcoming a little one into their family, and are very excited for this beautiful blessing
