A Catholic app made for children, with something to open every day of the year. WHAT IS INSIDE A saint for every single day 381 saints, one for each day including 29 February. Read their story, then collect a star for each one you meet. The stories are honest: Peter denied Jesus, Paul hunted Christians, Augustine was lost for years, and they all became saints anyway. 126 Bible stories From creation to the letters of Paul. Every story has a stained glass picture drawn for it and questions at the end, so a child can check what they remember. 378 questions in all. 43 prayers The classics a child needs to know, the Marian prayers, and a set for real moments: when I am scared, when I cannot sleep, when I did something wrong, when I want to give up. Some are four lines long and ask for nothing. 41 faith lessons The sacraments, the Mass step by step, the Creed, the commandments, the beatitudes, the Church year and the works of mercy, across 401 pages written for children. A new word and a new verse each morning 309 verses and 300 Catholic words. Each word comes with how to say it, what it means, a line of scripture, and something to notice at Mass on Sunday. Mary and the Eucharist 16 titles of Our Lady with the story behind each, from Guadalupe to the Undoer of Knots, and a guided walk through the Eucharist. FOURTEEN GAMES Faith Quiz, Trivia Tournament, Guess the Saint, Saints Match, Word Search, Word Scramble, Match Game, Colour a Saint, Picture Puzzle, Spot the Difference, Bible Order, Rosary Builder, Feast Day Match and Finish the Verse. Every game is built on the app's own content, so a child who plays is learning the same saints, verses and stories they read. Colour a Saint has 82 pictures. Bible Order covers all 73 books of the Catholic canon. SOMETHING TO KEEP 122 medals to earn, a streak that counts the days in a row, and a star for every saint met. Nothing is timed against another child, and nothing is lost by playing badly. THREE LANGUAGES English, French and Spanish, switchable at any time. Nothing is missing in any of them: every saint, story, prayer and game is complete in all three. FOR PARENTS No adverts anywhere in the app. No data about your child is collected or sent anywhere. Works completely offline once installed. A Parent Zone protected by a PIN, with daily time limits and a break reminder. Any link that leaves the app is protected by a maths question only a grown-up can answer. No purchases of any kind. Made by Mary Our Help Ministry, a Catholic evangelisation apostolate.
