Vice President-elect JD Vance and his wife Usha Vance kicked off Inauguration Day festivities Monday morning with a service at St. John’s Church, a historic Episcopal church near the White House.
The service precedes a full day of events, as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to enter his second presidential term. Vance, the former Ohio GOP Senator and Middletown native, will also be sworn in Monday, taking the oath of office using a Bible that once belonged to his great-grandmother.
Here’s what to know about JD and Usha Vance’s religious backgrounds.
What religion is JD Vance?
Vance was baptized Catholic and received his first communion in 2019 at St. Gertrude Priory, which is attached to a Dominican parish in Cincinnati, where Vance now lives. He chose St. Augustine as his patron saint.
“I became persuaded over time that Catholicism was true. I was raised Christian, but never had a super-strong attachment to any denomination, and was never baptized. When I became more interested in faith, I started out with a clean slate, and looked at the church that appealed most to me intellectually,” Vance said in an interview with The American Conservative.
What religion is JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance?
JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance, will become the first Indian American second lady in the White House upon her husband’s inauguration. Usha Vance will also be the first Hindu second lady, having come from a Hindu family who is deeply religious.
In a June interview with Fox News, the vice president-elect said his wife helped him “re-engage” with his Christian faith.
The couple, who met when they were both students at Yale Law School, got married in Kentucky in 2014 and were blessed by a Hindu pundit in a separate ceremony, per The New York Times.
JD Vance is a Christian and his wife Usha Vance is a Hindu.
