In 2002, she announced that she had secretly been ordained a priest of the Roman Catholic Church under the pseudonym Angela White. She was one of seven women ordained by Argentinian Bishop Romolo Braschi and Austrian Bishop Rafael Regelsberger on a boat in the Danube River, making her the first female American Roman Catholic Priest. Celeste was subsequently excommunicated by the Church.

Celeste serves as the Executive Director of the TYRIAN network . She holds a B.A. in Women's Studies and Public Policy from Capitol University and a Master's Degree in Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Ministry from the Methodist Theological School of Ohio, and is a licensed Polarity practitioner. She has been a speaker at both the Starwood Festival [1] and the WinterStar Symposium. She is a long standing professional Life Balance Coach who developed an individualized three-month coaching process designed to empower one to discover a life worth living by embracing the life one is truly called to. Dagmar and Richard Celeste, who have six grown children, were divorced in 1995.
