Natalie Wernette is a recent graduate of Ferris State University in Graphic Design and International Business.  As a student at Ferris she was an active member in the Newman Center and both participated in and planned various retreats, faith sessions, praise and worship music, mission trips, and fun activities.  Her faith has continued to grow from diving into church teachings and attending seminars around the world.  The daily events in her life make her feel truly blessed, and she wishes to share her knowledge and experience with the youth.  She has been helping with the High School Youth Ministry Team since the fall of 2008.  She is currently heading up the catechesis for our High School Group and is also active in the music ministry program at St. Michael Parish.
