Enthusiastic, faithful to the Magisterium, and passionately Catholic, Anthony Digmann’s experience engaging Catholics combines with theological insight in a way sure to make an impact on your audience.
Anthony is a husband and father of a young family and a Passionately Catholic YouTuber, speaker, and author. He has been featured on international Catholic media such as EWTN, Catholic Digest, and Radio Maria, as well as various national Catholic radio stations, podcasts, blogs, and diocesan periodicals.
He has a Master’s degree in Theology; is currently pursuing a MA in Catechetics and Evangelization from Franciscan University of Steubenville; and has served the Church professionally in Catholic schools, parish ministry, and on councils of the Archdiocese of Dubuque since 2006.
Anthony is the author of 4 books that have sold on 4 continents, including Made for Holiness: A Catholic Introduction to Demons and Exorcism; Using the Force: Star Wars and Catholicism; The Catholic Girl’s Guide to Being Happy, Holy, & Whole; and Sign of Contradiction: Contraception, Family Planning, & Catholicism.
Since 2008 Anthony has served on the Theology faculty at Beckman Catholic High School and has instructed college courses since 2012 for Saint Louis University, Mount Mercy University, and Northeast Iowa Community College.
One unique fact about Anthony is that he has a father for a brother and a brother for a father–in a completely licit Catholic way, of course. His father is a consecrated religious Brother, and his only sibling is a priest for the Archdiocese of Dubuque.
Anthony is a professional videographer and disc golf course designer as well. He travels from Dyersville, Iowa, the home of the St. Francis Xavier Basilica and the Field of Dreams.
