"Scott Anthony is a powerful speaker who quickly connects with the
young people. His energy and love for the Lord help him deliver a
message that will change the hearts of your youth. My senior
inner-city girls are still talking about him. I am honored to have
him on our high school retreats."
Fr. David Engo, OFM, Cap.
Chaplain, West Philadelphia Catholic HS, Philadelphia, PA
“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.”
—Fr. Wayne Morris
Chaplain, Catholic Central High School, Steubenville, OH
“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.
Pastor, St. Joseph Church, York, PA

gratitude for your work with the young people of St. Matthew Parish”
