Biography

Born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania to the late John and Elizabeth Trigilio, John Trigilio is the eldest of five children. After attending High School and College Seminary in Erie, Trigilio began to study for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, graduating from Mary Immaculate Seminary in Northampton, PA. He was ordained a Catholic Priest in 1988 by William Cardinal Keeler, who was then Bishop of Harrisburg. In his early priesthood, Trigilio's assignments included assistant pastor in two parishes, working in the diocescan tribunal, and as a hospital chaplain. From 2002-2018 Trigilio was pastor of two parishes in Marysville, Pennsylvania. In 2004, he earned his doctorate from LaSalle University.[8] Trigilio was in an automobile accident in 2012 while driving back to the parish after visiting his mother in Erie, Pennsylvania, which left him in the Intensive care unit for three days.[9] He began working in 2013 as a part time faculty member at Mount St. Mary's Seminary, assisting seminarians as a Spiritual direction and formation advisor while still serving at his two parishes. In 2018, he was appointed Director of Pastoral Formation at Mount St. Mary's.[10] Currently, Trigilio is the weekly host of EWTN Radio's Open Line Monday, and is a regular guest host on Catholic Answers.[11] His media programs and books are geared towards apologetics, and have been noted for their "casual" approach to common questions regarding the Catholic faith.[12]
