Word on Fire
Pray. Learn. Gather. Evangelize. Join the largest Catholic community online.
Bishop Barron started proclaiming Christ to the culture by airing his homilies on WGN radio, which was then the biggest station in Chicago. It was a great start, but he was only reaching Chicagoans who were awake at 5:15 a.m. on Sundays and listening to the radio! Since the homilies were pre-recorded, Bishop Barron responded to a friend’s encouragement and started housing all the homilies on a website. From there, because people could access the homilies anytime, anywhere, Word on Fire grew. It was a simple but powerful idea: spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through multiple media platforms, engaging people with the goodness, truth, and beauty of Catholicism.

Walking with Moms in Need
Pregnant and parenting moms in need are in our parishes and our neighborhoods.
As Pope Francis reminds us, our parishes need to be “islands of mercy in the midst of a sea of indifference.” Everyone in the parish community should know where to refer a pregnant woman in need.
Walking with Moms in Need is an opportunity for Catholic parishes and communities to “walk in the shoes” of local pregnant and parenting women in need, accompanying them in friendship and helping to connect moms with local resources.

Vatican News
Vatican News is the news portal of the Holy See.
Together with Vatican Radio, L’Osservatore Romano and Vatican Media, it seeks to respond “always better to the demands of the Church’s mission” in contemporary culture. Vatican News’s adventure began on 27 June 2015 with the Motu Proprio of Pope Francis that established the Secretariat for Communication, which today is a Dicastery of the Roman Curia.
