Bishop Robert Barron, known for his platform "Word on Fire."has announced a new project: a religious congregation oriented towards evangelization.
Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of "Word on Fire," the U.S. prelate is looking for between three and five priests and three or five novices who feel called to evangelize following the style of the Catholic content platform.
The religious community will be governed by rules already drafted by Bishop Barron and will receive an in-depth formation for evangelization. To achieve this, the future order already has a first house in the city of Rochester, Minnesota, where the community will begin.
In the press release published in "Word on Fire" they announce that "recruitment of priests will begin shortly". However, they also warn that there is a lack of donations "to finance the costs associated with living expenses, training and education". In fact, on the website they explain that the funding goal is $25,000,000, of which only $778,281 has been raised so far.
The announcement of this congregation founded by Bishop Barron ends with the wish that "this order will exist in perpetuity, leading the way in evangelization and drawing people into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ".
