Catholic iTunes Apps on My iPod Touch


Here is a list of the Catholic apps that I currently have on my new iPod Touch. I found all of these through the iTunes Apps store by searching on the word "Catholic". These are all free. I believe they are all faithful to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church; they certainly enrich my faith journey! The titles listed below match the titles in iTunes.

Catholic Bible: Yes, the entire Bible!


Catholic Mass Times Church Directory
: Awesome! Easily shows the Catholic churches closest to my location with a link to addresses, maps and Mass times.

Divine Mercy Guide: Steps me through the Divine Mercy chaplet, etc.


Evangelizo -- Daily Gospel
: Terrific! Automatically loads the Mass readings for the day, and has other prayers for the season.

The Holy Rosary: Nice aid to prayer.

iCatholicRadio - The Station of the Cross: Indispensable! Easy access to 101.7 FM (Buffalo): livestream their radio broadcasts and get their podcasts, etc.


The Lord's Prayer: Meditative music to listen to while contemplating the prayer that Jesus taught us.


Night Prayer, Compline -- FREE Audio Liturgy of the Hours by DivineOffice.org: Automatically downloads the Liturgy of the Hours for the day, the night prayer.


Rosary - Mysteries of the Holy Rosary: Nice prayer aid.


iBooks (this is general app for reading any book, but I downloaded from the Gutenberg Project an ePub format file of Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica)

Upon googling
Evangelizo to get the art for this blog post, I see that Evangelizo is also available for the Android, and that is probably true for others.

Free Catholic Apps on iTunes!


I got an iPod Touch for my birthday! Yippee!

I immediately loaded it up with all of the free, wonderful Catholic Apps on the iTunes Store!

I now have the entire Bible, St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica, Rosary prayers, Divine Office, etc.

The Station of the Cross (101.7 FM Buffalo) App gives a livestream of their radio station -- Mother Angelica of EWTN fame was on when I fired up the App. Also has easy access to their podcasts (as reviewed earlier in this blog).

In iTunes in the App Store, search on "Catholic".

Podcast Review: "Divine Mercy in My Soul"


Awesome podcast! I have prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet. This past Easter season, I prayed the Divine Mercy Novena and observed Divine Mercy Sunday. I have heard a little bit about the life of St. Faustina.

But until now, I have never studied her writings.

This podcast is by a priest and a layman who are very knowledgeable about the Diary of St. Faustina. Here is your chance to deeply understand the writings, prayers and blessings of St. Faustina, and the great message of His Divine Mercy that Jesus Christ communicated to the world through her.

Great way to learn and grow in your faith! Thanks, Station of the Cross in Buffalo, New York!
