Don’t laugh, but it’s on the hard drive of my computer, on the work ipad, and on my phone. The application I’ve mentioned before, ipieta has it:
Bible:
Catholic Bibles in the public domain with excellent English-Latin correspondence: Douay-Rheims, Latin Vulgate.
Scripture can read as English, Latin, or in English-Latin. The latter mode can displayed either as side-by-side or verse-by-verse. Chapters are easily accessed with the indexed tables. The entire chapter is displayed.
The Douay-Rheims is the only public-domain English Catholic Bible we are aware of. It is an excellent and truly Catholic translation, although some people may not prefer the “old English’ style. We are hopeful that the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (for the NAB version) and the National Council of Churches (for the RSV-CE version) will delight in the extensive corpus of doctrine which we make available for a minimum fee ($3) and will grant us permission to incorporate these translations.
Calendar:
Either the Ordinary (or Novus Ordo) Calendar or the Extraordinary (or Traditional or Tridentine) Calendar can be displayed. Toggle between calendars by shaking the device. The default calendar type can be set to Novus Ordo or to Tridentine or to “Last Type”. The latter setting remembers which calendar was used last and applies that setting.
The Novus Ordo Calendar can be displayed in table format for Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand, Scotland, the United States, or Wales. (The default can be set in the “Settings” Tab.)
The Traditional Calendar has three shades of violet to distinguish Septuagessima, Lent, and Passiontide

Much better to learn more about the Faith when waiting on a restarting computer I’m repairing, than just sitting there. ;)
That’s why I always carry a book with me. The people in the bank line this morning thought I was nuts when I didn’t notice a teller right away. Of course, the teller immediately disappeared to the drive-up window! LOL!
Hey and I got about five pages read!
