Robert Feduccia is president of the youth ministry apostolate Equipping the Saints (EQSaint) and a PhD candidate in Practical Theology, with research focused on liturgical renewal and adolescents. His ministry began immediately after high school with the National Evangelization Team (N.E.T.), leading retreats for middle and high school youth. He later entered St. Meinrad College Seminary for the Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi, and continued graduate theological studies at The Catholic University of America. Formed by the Benedictine tradition at Saint Meinrad, Robert developed a deep appreciation for contemplative prayer and the life of the Church. After discerning a call to marriage rather than priesthood, he married his wife, Kathleen, in 1994 and continued serving the Church in youth ministry.
A nationally recognized speaker, retreat leader, writer, and trainer of parish youth ministry leaders, Robert has taught theology to deacon candidates and delivered keynote presentations at numerous diocesan conferences. He authored the evangelization document for the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry and has contributed to OCP’s Today’s Liturgy and EQSaint’s EQAccess. He has also presented at Life Teen’s Catholic Youth Ministry Convention and served on planning committees for the National Catholic Youth Conference and the U.S. bishops’ World Youth Day efforts.
John Angotti was raised in Clarksburg, West Virginia, a small community in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The third of four adopted children, John found his voice at an early age-literally. At just four years old, he discovered he could speak without stuttering only when singing the hymn "The Church's One Foundation." That moment became the first sign of the mission God was shaping for his life. As an accomplished pianist and singer-songwriter, John began studying piano at age seven under the guidance of his mother, a lifelong church musician. His earliest experiences in children's choir shaped his faith and instilled in him the belief that music could carry God's message of love and unity in ways words alone could not.
Today, John is recognized nationwide as a dynamic performer, worship leader, and recording artist. His style bridges the traditional and the contemporary, weaving together timeless hymns with original compositions that are cinematic, soul-stirring, and deeply rooted in faith. Through concerts, liturgical music, and storytelling, John brings hope, healing, and inspiration to audiences of every generation. At the heart of John Angotti Music Mission is a calling: to use the power of music to build community, break down barriers, and remind people of God's unconditional love.
