Though the catechism was written by Martin Luther in 1529, its question and answer format provides Christians with a timeless and easy-to-use guidebook that is applicable to all the various callings we have in life. The Small Catechism explores the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine: the Ten Commandments, the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, Confession, and the Sacrament of the Altar. It also includes daily prayers, a table of duties for Christians, and a guide for Christians to use as they prepare to receive Holy Communion.

My Patron gives you a personal spiritual companion — a Catholic saint who speaks in their own voice, drawn from their own writings, Scripture, and the Catechism. Choose your patron. Then talk with them. Ask St. Thérèse how to find peace in small things. Sit with St. Francis and pray over creation. Let St. Augustine walk you through doubt and the longing for God. Each saint has a distinct voice and personality — tender, joyful, or searching — because the saints were real people, and they still are. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Have open-ended conversations about faith, prayer, and daily life • Prepare for confession with a guided examination of conscience in your saint's voice • Receive daily reflections grounded in the liturgical calendar • Ask hard questions and hear honest, faithful answers • Return to ongoing conversations and deepen the relationship over time ROOTED IN THE TRADITION My Patron is not a generic Catholic chatbot. Every saint speaks only from their actual writings, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and Sacred Scripture. Nothing fabricated. Nothing outside the tradition. When a saint quotes themselves, it's real. THE SAINTS AVAILABLE NOW • St. Thérèse of Lisieux — tender, simple, the Little Way • St. Francis of Assisi — joyful, earthy, radical poverty • St. Augustine of Hippo — intellectual, restless, searching More saints coming soon. WHO THIS IS FOR My Patron is for Catholics who want more than information — who want accompaniment. Whether you're returning to the faith, deepening a prayer life, or simply curious what Thérèse would say to you today, My Patron meets you where you are. Walk with the saints.
