## What is Via Catholic?

Make room for Scripture and prayer, every day.

Via Catholic brings the daily Mass readings, the full Catholic Bible, prayer, and a simple daily rhythm together in one place. A Via Pro subscription is required to use the app after onboarding. Eligible customers can start a free trial when offered.

YOUR DAILY WAY
Begin with today's Gospel, the liturgical day, and a short checklist of readings and prayer. Build a steady rhythm with your streak and progress calendar. Miss a day? Begin again tomorrow.

DAILY MASS READINGS
Follow your country's liturgical calendar: the United States, Canada, England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Australia or New Zealand. Read today's Mass readings or explore another day.

THE CATHOLIC BIBLE
Read the Douay-Rheims (Challoner), the Catholic Public Domain Version, or the World English Bible Catholic Edition. The full Bible is stored on your phone for offline reading, and Via remembers where you left off.

REFLECTION AND PRAYER
Spend time with a reflection on the day's readings, a daily prayer, and the Saint of the Day. Save the prayers and reflections that stay with you, and add your own notes.

ASK VIA
Bring your questions about Scripture, the Mass, prayer and Catholic teaching. Answers include references to Scripture and the Catechism, so you can open the passages and read for yourself.

FAITH EXPLAINED
Explore short videos on the Mass, prayer and Catholic life, with questions you can ask about each one.

PRIVATE COMMUNITIES
Pray and grow with the people you choose. Join a community with an invite link or code. Members can report posts and block other members.

LOCK SCREEN VERSES
Keep Scripture close with a Bible verse on your Lock Screen. Change it daily or every six hours, rotate through saved verses, or keep a favorite. Look up passages, build your verse library, and follow the video guide to set up your widget.

GENTLE REMINDERS
Choose morning, evening and night reminders that stop once your daily checklist is complete.

VIA PRO SUBSCRIPTION
Via Pro includes all the features above. Choose $49.99/year or $9.99/month. Eligible customers can receive a 7-day free trial with the annual plan when offered. Prices may vary by country; the app displays your local price and trial eligibility before purchase.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before then. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial ends when you purchase a subscription.

The Way.
Via Crucis. Via Lucis. Via Dei. Via Catholic.
