Father Anthony Federico is the Vocations Director of the Archdiocese of Hartford. He was ordained to the priesthood in 2019 and served as the Parochial Vicar at two parishes, including Blessed Michael McGivney Parish in his hometown of New Haven, Connecticut, before being appointed to his current ministry this past summer. Before entering the seminary, Father Anthony worked as a sportswriter and editor at ESPN. He is the author of Joe B., a novel which reimagines the Book of Job in modern-day Manhattan, and the co-host of the Practically Catholic podcast, which, along with a young missionary mom, offers the faithful practical advice about living the Catholic faith in everyday life.
