This educational app offers the Mass from a different point of view. It's called "Mass Explained” and it is the perfect way to understand and learn more about the meaning of the actions, words, signs and rites of the Mass.


It explains the Roman Rite, the Mass the majority of Catholics are familiar with. Additionally, it explores each section of the liturgy with prayers and unique gestures. 

The app is interactive and includes 3D videos and panoramic photos. It also contains biblical references, quotes from the Fathers of the Church, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and encyclicals. 

"Mass Explained” is available in English for the iPad. 


WATCH VIDEO- It also includes 3D videos and panoramic photos.

I’ll stick with my old St. Joseph’s missal. :)

Add in some ‘Shazam’ app functionality and people could use their smartphones during mass to find out what the priest is just talking about!

Yes, but they may not be fluent in Latin or know the name of the music being played. ;-)

I was picturing a church full of people with that app holding up their phones to retrieve the meta-information...irreverent, I know, but funny - no offense intended.

Does this mean we are now getting an ‘appy Mass’? And will it be in English or Latin?
