Word on Fire Institute

The Word on Fire Institute exists as the educational arm of Bishop Robert Barron’s ministry. Our spirit can best be understood as a descendent of St. John Paul II, the Second Vatican Council, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. We strive to form our members in the intellectual, practical, and spiritual life of a modern-day evangelist.
