A Catholic App is a reverent companion for Catholics who want clear, faithful answers to the questions of daily life — and a quiet, beautiful place to pray. Ask anything: about the Mass, the sacraments, prayer, doctrine, Scripture, morals, the saints. A Catholic App returns plain-language answers grounded only in officially recognized Catholic sources, with citations to the Catechism, Sacred Scripture, the ecumenical councils, papal encyclicals, the Code of Canon Law, and the traditional prayers of the Church. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Ask in your own words — type or speak — and receive a clear, faithful answer with sources you can verify. • Voice mode — tap the microphone, ask aloud, and hear the answer read back in a calm, reverent voice. • Pray the Rosary — guided step by step with the four sets of mysteries, with the prayers themselves read aloud so you can simply pray along. • Build a personal library — bookmark answers, revisit your history, and follow related questions deeper. • Quiet, parchment-and-burgundy design — no ads, no clutter, no distractions. WHAT YOU WON'T FIND • No advertising, ever. • No accounts, no email required, no tracking. • No personal opinions presented as Catholic teaching — every answer cites real, named sources. A NOTE FROM THE TEAM A Catholic App is a study and devotional aid. It is not a substitute for the sacraments, for the pastoral guidance of a priest, or for the formal teaching authority of the Church. Pray. Read the sources. Speak with your pastor.

VerseMark Catholic Bible is a Catholic Bible reading tracker with daily Mass readings, the Rosary, the saints and feast days of the liturgical calendar, and exact verse-level progress. It works offline. Read the daily Catholic readings for any date, see which saint or feast the Church celebrates that day, and track your Scripture reading down to the individual verse. Most Bible trackers stop at the chapter. VerseMark lets you mark individual verses, so you can read Matthew 5:7-9 without marking the rest of Matthew 5. Your progress stays precise across the whole Catholic Bible, each testament, each book, and each chapter. The Catholic edition is built for the 73-book Catholic Bible canon: the 66-book Christian canon plus the seven Catholic deuterocanonical books. Features: - Track Catholic Bible reading at the individual verse level - Mark selected verses or full chapters as read - Read the daily Catholic Mass readings for any date - Read offline: the Bible text and the next two weeks of daily readings save to your device - Pray the Rosary step by step with today's mysteries (Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious, Luminous), plus traditional Catholic prayers such as the Our Father, Hail Mary, Hail Holy Queen and Memorare - Move backward or forward by day - Jump to a specific date, with the days you read marked on the calendar - Jump straight to a passage: Psalm 23, John 3:16 - Browse the Catholic Bible by Old Testament and New Testament - See whole-Bible, testament, book, and partial chapter progress - Save favorite verses, grouped by Old and New Testament - Dark mode: choose Light, Dark or Match phone - Write private notes tied to specific verses - Share selected passages with friends - Explore saints, feast days, and liturgical seasons, with details for the day's feast and the liturgical color shown on Today - Find Catholic churches nearby - Discover Mass livestream resources - Set reading goals and reminders - Share reflections and favorite verses in Community - Hide posts, report content, block users, and delete your own posts or comments - Sign in to sync reading progress across devices VerseMark Catholic Bible is designed to be clean, calm, and focused. It helps Catholic readers build a steady Scripture rhythm without flattening progress into all-or-nothing chapter checkboxes. VerseMark Catholic Bible uses legally available Bible text and does not require a subscription for the core reading tracker. VerseMark Catholic Bible is not an official app of the Vatican, USCCB, any diocese, parish, or Catholic ministry. Read in English or Spanish: choose your language when you open the app and switch any time in Profile. The whole app, the Catholic Bible, the daily Mass readings and the Rosary are available in Spanish, and your notes, favorites and progress stay the same.
