Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith is an upcoming 2026 memoir by the 50th and current vice president of the United States, JD Vance. The book is stated to center on his conversion to Catholicism in 2019, while also serving as a sequel to Vance's previous book, Hillbilly Elegy . It will be published by HarperCollins.[1] [2] [3]
Background
[edit ]In 2019, Vance, then 35 years old, converted to Catholicism.[3] The title of the work, Communion, refers to the Eucharist, a Christian rite that honors the Last Supper. According to the publisher, HarperCollins, Vance started a book on faith in 2022, which he set aside; Communion is an extension of that project.[3]
The cover of the book, which depicts Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, not a Catholic church, attracted coverage. Congregants of the rural church in southwestern Virginia reported no connection to Vance or Catholicism.[4]
