For a major part of his life he has worked with secondary and university student movements, particularly with those of Catholic students, and with youth in general. Mike was a founding member of the Young Christian Students (YCS) in South Africa, and has been involved in many other Catholic structures of youth, laity, and Justice and Peace. He was also active in Theology Exchange Programme in Cape Town and the Institute for Contextual Theology (ICT) in Johannesburg. Mike Deeb entered the Dominican Order in 1986 and, after his ordination as a priest in 1991, he worked for several years in poor rural parishes in the central Free State. In 1999 he was appointed by the Vatican Secretariat of State to be the International Chaplain of the international Catholic student movements, the International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS-Pax Romana) and the International Young Catholic Students (IYCS).
