Dear Friend,


In 2025, Word on Fire launched the Master of Arts in Evangelization & Culture in partnership with The Catholic University of America, Bishop Barron's alma mater. Last November, we introduced the Master's Scholarship Fund to help priests who feel called to this degree but cannot afford the cost. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our supporters, the response to this new initiative has been remarkably successful, and we would like to keep the momentum going. 


The Master of Arts in Evangelization & Culture equips the next generation of Catholic evangelists and cultural leaders with rigorous academic formation, immersion in the Church's intellectual tradition, and practical tools for evangelizing a secular, tech-shaped world. It blends deep theological study with pastoral preparation, forming evangelists who can meet today's challenges with clarity, creativity, and conviction.


Yet for many priests, the financial burden remains a barrier. Most simply cannot cover tuition on their own. With your support, we can continue saying "yes" to priests who are eager to be formed and ready to serve the Church in a deeper way.

SUPPORT THE MASTER'S SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Your generosity opens the door for priests to receive the intellectual and spiritual formation they desire—formation that will enrich their preaching, teaching, sacramental ministry, and evangelization for years to come. Every gift given to the Master's Scholarship Fund directly supports their education and mission.


We have seen what is possible when this community steps forward in faith. Now, we hope to build on this strong beginning to extend this opportunity to many priests. Please prayerfully consider supporting this important initiative. Will you help us continue forming the next generation of Catholic leaders?


God bless you,


The Word on Fire Team
