Pure Faith
Pure Faith is a beautifully designed Catholic prayer app that includes all of the prayers from the best-selling book Pure Faith, plus daily Mass readings, Saint of the Day, Liturgy of the Hours, the entire Bible, and the monthly prayer intentions from the pope. Use it to prepare for Mass or confession, or do an evening examen before bedtime.
Need a reminder to pray the Angelus, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy . . .
Online Studies: Get Paid Up to $75

The Catholic Directory – free
This is probably the app I use the most because I’m terrible at remembering mass times. My favorite feature is that you can find churches by using your current location. This is super helpful when traveling, or when your schedule requires you to find another parish to go to mass/confession. The only down side of this app is that it requires parishes or users to help keep the information up-to-date. As an added bonus, they have added the daily readings.
Laudate – free
Similar to iPieta, this is a Catholic mashup app. Laudate has the daily readings plus the saint of the day. It includes the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, multiple podcasts for daily meditation and the New American Bible. My two favorite features are the gospel reflections and the interactive rosary. For those of you who don’t have a Magnificat subscription, these reflections are a wonderful free alternative. True, you will get odd looks when you whip your iPhone out after communion (it happens to me all the time). Just be confident in the fact that you’re not texting or tweeting but rockin’ some deep meditation. For those onlookers, this is a good time to introduce them to the 21st century when mass is over.

Salt + Light Television: Catholic TV in Canada
Salt + Light Television (French: Télévision Sel + Lumière) is a Canadian category 2 digital cable specialty channel. Owned by the not-for-profitSalt and Light Catholic Media Foundation and based in Toronto, Ontario, Salt + Light Television is supported by St. Joseph Communications. Both St. Joseph and Salt + Light were founded by businessman Gaetano Gagliano.
Launched in July 2003, it is the first Catholic national television channel in Canada. The channel airs programming in several languages, although prominently in English along with several French programs airing under the brand Télévision Sel + Lumière as well as Italian and Chinese programs.
The name of the station derives itself from the theme of World Youth Day 2002, "You are the salt of the earth... you are the light of the world," part of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:13-14). The National Director of WYD 2002, Fr. Thomas Rosica, is the Chief Executive Officer of Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation.
Programs range from daily news and current events to special features and films. Most programming falls into one of five categories:
- National and international stories of Catholic Action and Social Justice
- Stories of Catholic Communities
- Learning and Faith Development
- Prayer, Devotion and Meditation
- Catholic liturgy, including daily Mass and Vatican ceremonies
Salt + Light Television has been endorsed by national and international Catholic leaders and organizations, including the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Vatican Television Center, and many departments of the Vatican.
