Robert E. "Rob" Keighron (born December 3, 1980) is a former Roman Catholic priest in the Diocese of Brooklyn. He is best known from his appearances on The Catholic Guy with Lino Rulli, a radio show airing on Sirius XM Radio, from 2008–2014.
Keighron was born in Queens, New York and graduated from Archbishop Molloy High School in 1998. Keighron then attended St. John's University in New York, where he graduated with a degree in philosophy in 2002. Keighron lived at the Pontifical North American College while he studied in Rome for a Bachelor of Sacred Theology degree. Keighron was then installed as parochial vicar of St. Helen Roman Catholic Church in Howard Beach, Queens. He also served as president of St. Helen Roman Catholic School. In November 2012, he took up residence at the rectory of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Astoria, Queens in order to devote himself full-time to The Catholic Guy.
Keighron's radio career began in 2003 while attending the Pontifical North American College where he was a regular contributor to Mike and the Mad Dog, a New York City-based sports radio show hosted by Chris Russo. He was known as "Rob From The Vatican" and discussed sports predictions. Following his ordination, he remained in Rome and frequently celebrated Mass on Vatican Radio. Keighron went on to host a weekly sports television series that aired on the Diocese of Brooklyn's New Evangelization Television just prior to his full venture into Catholic radio.
