Hello! I'm Dina Marie!

Dina Marie Hale is an adult convert to Catholicism.   She was raised in the Lutheran Church but from high school to post college attended no church and was living a secular life.  On Easter Vigil 1999 at Sacred Heart Parish in Tillamook, Oregon Dina Marie was confirmed and came home as a member of the Catholic Church!  In 2000 she began working for Catholic Radio KBVM – now Mater Dei Radio where she worked as a morning show host and program director until the Spring of 2018.  Today Dina Marie is self-employed as a speaker, retreat leader, event emcee, workshop facilitator, freelance writer and has established her new ministry "FAITH MOMENTS" in 2022.

Every year Dina Marie joins a large community to promote and foster a greater devotion to Mary and the Family Rosary.  The Annual Rosary Bowl NW event is held on the first Saturday of October and Dina Marie serves as the event's Emcee.  In 2018 Father Donald Calloway MIC was the guest speaker (see photo to left) and he amazed the crowd of more than 1000 attendees as he shared his conversion to Catholicism as well as his deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
One exciting project for Dina Marie was to work with Shalom World as a TV host for the vocation series called “Vowed” where she hosted three TV shows with the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows in Santa Cruz, CA. 

A Communications Graduate from Lewis and Clark College in Portland (1991) and alum of Gresham High School (1987) Dina Marie is a shining example of how God does write straight with crooked lines.  Married to her husband Rob (a Catholic Convert from the Methodist Church in 2000) in 1999, Dina Marie has 2 adult stepdaughters and four grandchildren who love to pick blueberries in Grandma Dina’s yard. 

​Today Dina Marie is using her gifts in public speaking and communications to enrich the lives of others by fostering a deeper desire to know, love and serve Jesus Christ.  As a messenger of the Gospel she collaborates on meaningful projects that inform, inspire and ignite the hearts and minds of others leading them to seek truth and beauty in God.​ ​
