“Many thanks for your willingness to come among us and break the bread of your life and faith with us. I think it is important for people to have examples of a richly proactive response to the many varieties of lay vocations in the Church, and you have certainly given us that in your time here with us at St. John’s..”

“Scott’s talks are right on! They teach, inform and can make you laugh, all within the context of the Truth of the Church in the Catechism and Sacred Scripture. Scott’s talks also hit to the heart. He is not afraid of pursuing the difficult subjects that truly need to be dealt with in our life of faith.”

“I have been involved in youth and young adult ministry for over 20 years as a participant in my own youth, as a high school teacher, as former coordinator of young adult ministry for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and now as a priest animating young adult ministry at the parish level. Seldom have I met a more able youth minister than Scott Anthony. He brings several key ingredients to his message and ministry with youth: a deep love and steadfast commitment to our Church’s teachings; an abundant amount of energy, joy and a healthy sense of humor, an obvious respect for and rapport with young people themselves; and most importantly, a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ and a continuous desire to bring more youth to our Lord.”

— Fr. Paul Dressler, O.F.M. Cap.
Parochial Vicar, St. John the Evangelist Church in Philadelphia, PA

 

 

“As pastor, I have heard Scott speak many times to both adults and the young people of our parish. Scott has a unique way of connecting difficult Scripture passages as well as the teachings of the Church to real life situations. He combines common sense, faith and humor which goes to the heart and can be felt by those who listen.”

— Fr. Louis Petruha, OFM, Cap.
