Maddie Appleby joined the Our Lady of Grace staff in June of 2018 as the Director of Youth Ministry. She is thrilled to help lead teens closer to Christ through the very ministry that made her passionate about her faith in high school! Since joining the OLG staff, she has also taken on the online communications for the parish. In November of 2020, Maddie took on the role of Pastoral Associate, which encompasses Pastoral Services, Youth Ministry, and Online Communications.
Maddie graduated from Franciscan University of Steubenville in 2017 with a background in Sacred Music (Voice) and Theology. While attending Franciscan, she spent a semester abroad in Gaming, Austria, where she lived and studied in a 14th century Carthusian monastery in the Alps. She is currently pursuing her Masters of Arts in Theology at the School of Theological Studies at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia. Prior to joining the staff at OLG, Maddie worked and performed at Walt Disney World in Florida. She loves dancing in her car to a good playlist, talking about our Blessed Mother, and praying for Blessed Pier Giorgio Frasatti to become a saint already.
