It’s finally a reality!
I’m proud to announce that our first iPhone App, The New Mass, is available now, from the Apple App Store. You can find out how to download it here, or simply access the App Store from your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad!
As you probably know by now, there is a new English translation of the Mass, approved by Pope Benedict XVI, that will be in a parish near you within a few months – most likely by Advent 2011. This new translation is both more faithful to the official Latin text of the Mass, and helps to explain the biblical roots of the liturgy. The New Mass App will help you to learn the new responses you’ll have to know for the Mass (we can’t go from memory anymore, folks!), while giving some of the reasons for each change. Best of all, you can still use it with today’s Mass!
I’d really like to thank Batsirai Chada, my co-developer in producing this app. Couldn’t have done it without you! We served as each other’s best man at our respective weddings, and I’m happy we could stand together once again for this important project.
I was so thankful that when I showed the New Mass app to my Archbishop, His Grace, Thomas Collins of Toronto, he liked it, saying that it was “wonderful”.
I think you’ll like it too. Happy downloading!
Cale – that is so cool!! What a great idea! Once I get an iphone, I’ll be getting your app. Cheers
Does this also mean that if I buy this app, it justifies me playing with an iphone during Mass? haha
