To Be Baptized and Confirmed: A Foundation of Faith

In 1989, Adina Meyer took her first steps into the Catholic Church, embarking on a path that would intertwine her faith with her life's purpose. As she embraced roles as an RCIA teacher and Cantor, Deacon Adina found fulfillment in serving her community, yet the call to ministry lingered beneath the surface.

Awakening to Vocation: A Transformative Experience

In 2013, Meyer's life took an unexpected turn during her attendance at the SOA Vigil in Fort Benning, GA. It was here that she witnessed a woman presiding over an inclusive mass, igniting a profound realization of her own calling to priesthood. This revelation shattered barriers and propelled her towards a new understanding of her faith.

Driven by her newfound sense of purpose, Deacon Adina made the courageous decision in 2019 to leave her role as a high school humanities religious teacher and pursue full-time studies at Portland Seminary.

Ordination and Service: Answering the Call
