Bishop Barron to attend Trump address to Congress as guest of Catholic lawmaker

Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Mar 3, 2025 / 16:15 pm (CNA).
Word on Fire Founder Bishop Robert Barron will attend President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday following an invitation from Rep. Riley Moore of West Virginia.
“Through Word on Fire, Bishop Barron has helped countless souls discover, strengthen, or return to the Catholic Church by proclaiming the Gospel ‘through the culture,’” Moore, who is Catholic, said in a press release shared with CNA on Monday.
Word on Fire is a nonprofit global media apostolate founded to evangelize and educate with an emphasis on contemporary media that produces blogs, podcasts, books, videos, and educational materials.
While he is in Washington for the president’s address, Barron will celebrate Mass for Catholic members of Congress.
“His use of contemporary media to reach people is innovative and highly effective,” the Republican congressman continued. “I am honored to host him as my guest for President Trump’s joint address to Congress and am equally thrilled to have him celebrate the Mass for my colleagues and me prior to the speech.”
One of the most well-known bishops in the United States, Barron has 1.85 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, where he teaches about the faith through talks, interviews, and prayer. Many of his videos also address politics and religion, delving into the principles of the American founding and their relationship to contemporary politics.
“I want to express my sincere gratitude to Rep. Riley Moore for his kind invitation to celebrate Mass for Catholic members of Congress and to attend, as his guest, the State of the Union Address,” Barron said in the statement, adding: “I look forward to this opportunity both as a Catholic bishop and as an avid student of American history.”
The speech will mark Trump’s first address to Congress since taking office for his second term.
Barron serves as the bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, and as chair of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth.
