Press Release

Word on Fire and Fathom Entertainment Announce Heaven in Stone and Glass, A New Documentary from Bishop Robert Barron Coming to US Theatres September 20 & 23

An Immersive, Cinematic Journey Through Five of ​France’s Most Iconic Gothic Cathedrals

ROCHESTER, MN, and DENVER, CO — April 29, 2026 — Word on Fire Catholic Ministries and Fathom Entertainment, the leading specialty distributor of theatrical content worldwide, announced Bishop Robert Barron’s Heaven in Stone and Glass, a new feature documentary offering an immersive cinematic exploration of five of France’s most iconic Gothic cathedrals and the spiritual meaning embedded within them. This film is coming to theatres nationwide on September 20 and 23, 2026.

On April 15, 2019, the world watched in horror as flames erupted from the rafters of Notre-Dame Cathedral—an event that captivated global audiences and ignited an overwhelming response of loss, awe, and shared cultural grief. Why did the threat to this sacred space resonate so deeply, even among those with no religious affiliation? Bishop Robert Barron returns to France to answer this question, taking the viewer on a cinematic pilgrimage. Produced in collaboration with Spirit Juice Studios, Heaven in Stone and Glass marks a historic milestone: Word on Fire’s first-ever theatrical release.

Bishop Robert Barron—bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, founder of Word on Fire, and host of the acclaimed CATHOLICISM series—now brings his singular gift for making the transcendent accessible to the grandeur of the theatrical experience. In Heaven in Stone and Glass, he leads audiences inside five of France’s most awe-inspiring Gothic cathedrals, unlocking the theological genius encoded in every soaring arch, blazing rose window, and spiraling labyrinth.

“In our spiritually hungry time, the cathedrals can do what they have always done for those who are open,” said Bishop Barron. “They reveal divine treasures that our secular world has forgotten.”

Heaven in Stone and Glass is for believers and skeptics alike. It is for anyone who has ever stood before something ancient and beautiful and felt, inexplicably, that they were in the presence of something more.

Just beyond the doors of Europe’s Gothic cathedrals, light pours through colored glass, stone soars toward heaven, and something stirs deep within the human soul. Millions of pilgrims and tourists visit cathedrals each year, sensing in rose windows and sacred imagery a transcendent beauty that the secular world cannot explain. In Heaven in Stone and Glass, Bishop Robert Barron—bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, founder of Word on Fire, and host of the acclaimed CATHOLICISM series—journeys across France to explore sacred mysteries built into the crown jewels of Gothic architecture: Chartres, Notre-Dame, Reims, Amiens, and Saint-Denis. With characteristic clarity and theological depth, Bishop Barron reveals what sacred architecture has proclaimed for centuries: God is not distant but weaves his revelation into the very fabric of creation.

Faith & Science

One of the top reasons people leave the Church is the false notion that faith and science are at odds. It’s time to put that myth to rest once and for all. Learn how faith and science not only do not conflict with each other but, in fact, are mutually complementary and illuminating.




6 COURSES

Justice & Virtue

What does it mean to be a good person and to treat others justly? Secular culture fails to provide an adequate answer to these questions–with disastrous consequences for social stability and individual happiness. Learn how the Church not only cares about justice, including social justice, and good character, but also provides a better moral and political alternative to the reigning ideologies of our day.

3 COURSES

Popular Culture

Popular culture is important to the Church precisely because it’s where the people are, especially the young. Learn how to identify and make good use of the “seeds of the Word” in entertainment, politics, and even stand-up comedy to evangelize the culture.





3 COURSES

Prayer &
Sanctification

There is no greater evangelical power in the world than the saints, those who embody the Good News in their very lives–and all of us are called to become saints. Learn how to deepen your prayer life and conform yourself, by the grace of God, ever more perfectly to Christ's will.

Community online.

Nine course categories to deepen your faith and sharpen your mind.

What you’ll be receiving today, plus what you’ll continue to receive each month, are time-tested principles to live your life by and to share with others; principles grounded in the beautiful, the good, and the true; principles Bishop Barron wants to share with all Catholics and people of good will. Over 55+ courses from handpicked experts are organized into 9 categories. Start where you want and learn at your own pace in the comfort of your own home or on the go with our free downloadable app.

Bishop Barron

Learn from Word on Fire Founder, Bishop Robert Barron, through a series of lectures on a variety of topics. These courses provide in-depth analysis and discussion on an array of Catholic faith topics. His passion for shaping evangelists and educating the faithful is evident.





Introductory

You will lay a solid foundation with the 8 principles of Word on Fire and learn how to apply them to your daily life. Then journey through the fundamentals of Catholicism—all with the goal of becoming a better evangelist.







Evangelization

Being an effective evangelist requires having a full toolbox to engage a diverse and multifaceted secular culture. Learn practical tips to adapt your evangelical strategy to different audiences, including the indifferent, the open-minded, and those who claim to have no religion.





The Bible

The Bible seems incomprehensibly mysterious and confusing to many people. For example, should we read it literally? Is it, as some critics claim, irrational, immoral, and anti-science? This track will give you the tools you need to understand the meaning of the Old and New Testaments and how the Bible, rightly interpreted, can be the Church’s greatest evangelical tool.

The Church

What does the Church actually teach about some foundational tenets of the faith? These courses provide phenomenal teaching and food for thought to help you grow deeper in your Catholic faith.







Science

One of the top reasons people leave the Church is the false notion that faith and science are at odds. It’s time to put that myth to rest once and for all. Learn how faith and science not only do not conflict with each other but, in fact, are mutually complementary and illuminating.




Philosophy & Theology

Philosophy is essential to making a robust defense of the faith and explaining why it is true, good, and beautiful. Equip yourself with the best answers to the toughest questions. Theology is the study of God and his work in the world. The more we understand God and his purposes in and through his Church, the better we can love and serve him. This array of courses provides a deeper understanding of both philosophy and theology.

Art & Literature

One of Word on Fire’s founding principles is to “lead with beauty.” A jaded culture frequently balks at “truth claims” and is highly skeptical of “morality.” Beauty, however, retains the power to break through the cynicism, leading, eventually, to the true and the good. Learn how the Church’s expansive repository of art, literature, music, architecture, and more can still stir the secular soul.




Español

Los cursos que ofrecemos se imparten en español, brindando formación y educación profunda para los miembros del Insituto. Estos cursos no son traducciones, sino que se preparan y se imparten en español para que tanto los hablantes nativos como aquellos familiarizados con el idioma crezcan en confianza y habilidad para poder evangelizar Cristo en la cultura.
