The Year of Faith: there's an app for that

As mentioned in previous posts, we are in the middle of a "Year of Faith."  Similar to the "Year of Paul" and Year for Priest, the Year of Faith is a time to focus on a particular aspect of our Catholic faith that the Pope and Bishops think Catholics around the world need to draw their attention to.  While Paul and Priests represent a segment of our faith, this year, we're asked to look at our faith as a whole, to examine our relationship to Jesus and grow in knowledge of our faith.

The Diocese of Ft. Wayne-South Bend commissioned a website and companion smartphone app to help Catholics in Northern Indiana and across the world grow in their faith.  The website and app update daily with new posts designed to "help you learn your Catholic faith, love it more deeply and live it with passion."  So far, topics of posts include the newest American saints, a missionary in Nicaragua, and how to see the Pope when in Rome.

You can purchase the MyYearOfFaith app for your iOS or Andriod device for $.99.
