Word on Fire Institute

The Word on Fire Institute forms evangelists by utilizing state-of-the-art online education and community-building technology. Word on Fire Institute members not only learn how to influence the culture in an informed way, but also how to embody the Word on Fire way of living.
Word on Fire ENGAGE
Word on Fire ENGAGE empowers parishes to evangelize their parishioners—even those who don't show up at Mass.
Word on Fire ENGAGE is built on the Flocknote platform, an email and text messaging tool built specifically so Catholic parishes can simply and effectively communicate with all of their parishioners. This revolutionary technology coupled with Bishop Barron's and Word on Fire's vast content is truly powerful.
Films
Bishop Barron's CATHOLICISM, a groundbreaking, award-winning documentary about the Catholic Faith, which aired on PBS, is undoubtedly Word on Fire's most popular film series.
However, since its wild success, Word on Fire has gone on to create other film projects, including Pivotal Players, a series highlighting the lives of key figures in Catholic history. Other films explore the Mass, sins and virtues, the Eucharist, the Creed, and more.

Paired with their respective film presentations, Word on Fire's study program materials make facilitating in-person study programs easy.
The materials include a leader's guide, study guides for participants, prayer cards, and even free, pre-designed promotional materials.
