WOF 343: Bishop Barron’s New Diocese in Minnesota

Friends, as you may have heard, Pope Francis recently appointed me the ninth bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester (Minnesota). I will be formally installed on July 29. 

On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss how I found out about the appointment, how the process works, how it will affect Word on Fire, and what I’m looking forward to most in my new diocese.

A listener asks, what is it like to act in persona Christi from a physical and emotional perspective?
