Meet Our Young Adult Minister

My name is Michaela Dean! I am originally from Delaware, Ohio, but I went to college at Clemson University in South Carolina where I majored in Botany and minored in Biosystems Engineering. I moved to Centerville in September of 2020 to be an agronomy consultant. At Clemson I converted to the Catholic faith while hordes of my peers were leaving, and I have been volunteering and helping to lead my peers closer to God ever since. I have been with my boyfriend Matthew for almost 7 years, and I live with two very needy roommates, my black cats Phantom and Poe. When I’m not busy with ministry I enjoy playing animal crossing, crafting, archery, gardening, paddle boarding, swing dancing, and making gin.

Fun Facts:

My Birthday: All Saints Day (aka November 1st)

Favorite Color: Olive Green

Favorite Snack: Charcuterie board (it’s an adult lunchable)

Favorite Drink: Coffee or Body Armor (depending if I need caffeine or hydration)

Favorite Saint: I wear a necklace which holds ten saint medals that I periodically switch out (or it gets too heavy!). Some of the saints are: Mother Mary, St. Joseph, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Benedict, St. Mary Magdalene, St. Padre Pio, St. Catherine of Sienna, St. Michael, St. Augustine, St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Hildegard of Bingen, and Mother Teresa of Calcutta, among many more.

Favorite Bible Quote: Do not conform yourself to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2
