Word on Fire Catholic Ministries

Twenty-five years ago, Pope John Paul II posed a question to Cardinal Francis George: “What are you doing about evangelization in Chicago?” In response, Cardinal Francis George sent Bishop Robert Barron on a mission to proclaim Christ in an increasingly secular culture. Bishop Barron began by recording his homilies for a local Chicago radio station. Today, Bishop Barron’s Word on Fire Catholic Ministries reaches millions each year by sharing the Gospel via podcasts, videos, books, articles, and more. In 2025, join us in celebrating our history and charting a course for the future of Catholic evangelization.
