The short version.

  • The free plan gives you today's feast, saint and readings whenever you ask.
  • Morning and evening briefings, commitments and novena tracking are part of Premium, which is free during the beta.
  • You can ask what the week means in the Church calendar and get feast days, fasting days and Sunday readings.
  • Catholic Reminders reports and reminds. It does not replace your priest, your parish or your own prayer.

Who it is for

Why is it so hard to keep up with the readings and the saint of the day?

  • Most people who want a daily rhythm of faith do not lack interest.

  • The usual fixes ask for effort: bookmark a website, open an app, search for the date, scroll past things you did not want.

  • Catholic Reminders turns that around.

Most people who want a daily rhythm of faith do not lack interest. They lack a nudge. You mean to read the day's Mass readings, but the morning gets busy. You hear that it is a feast day only after it has passed. You are not sure whether this Friday is a day of fasting or what the Sunday readings will be.

The usual fixes ask for effort: bookmark a website, open an app, search for the date, scroll past things you did not want. Each step is small, and each one is a place where the habit slips.

Catholic Reminders turns that around. You say what you want to follow, and the day's information comes to you at the time you need it: the liturgical calendar, feast days, saints, readings, prayers and some context for what is happening in the Church. This article is for busy parishioners, converts still learning the calendar, parents who want to share the saint of the day at breakfast, and anyone who simply keeps forgetting.

Use cases

4 ways people use Daily readings and saint of the day, by text.

  1. Morning briefing

    1. Start the morning with the readings, the saint and a prayer

    The situation: you want to read the day's Mass readings before work, but you never remember until lunchtime, if at all.

    The alert tells you that today's readings, the saint of the day and a short prayer are ready. You open the message, read the readings over coffee, and say the prayer before you leave. The morning briefing is a Premium feature, and Premium is free during the beta.

  2. Week ahead

    2. Ask what this week means in the Church calendar

    The situation: it is Monday and you are not sure whether anything special is coming. You do not want to be surprised by a feast day or a fasting day on Friday.

    You ask your AI what the week means in the Church calendar. The answer lists the feast days, fasting days and Sunday readings for the week ahead. You then plan around it: perhaps a simpler meal on the fasting day, and time set aside to read Sunday's passages in advance.

  3. Saint of the day

    3. Share the saint of the day with your family

    The situation: you would like to mention a saint at dinner, but you do not know who is being remembered today.

    The free plan gives you today's feast, saint and readings whenever you ask. You get the name and a little context, read it aloud at the table, and let the kids ask questions. If a feast is coming up, you can ask about it the day before and prepare.

  4. Novena tracking

    4. Keep a novena going to the end

    The situation: you start a nine-day novena with good intentions, and by day four you have lost count.

    Novena tracking is part of Premium. A reminder tells you which day you are on, so you pray, mark it done and carry on. Commitments work the same way for other practices you want to keep up.
