Word on Fire Institute
The Word on Fire Institute was founded as a response to what Bishop Barron thinks is the greatest spiritual challenge of our time: the rise of the unaffiliated or "nones."
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.

This revolutionary technology coupled with Bishop Barron's and Word on Fire's vast content is truly powerful.
