A new app has been designed which is making it easier than ever for Catholics to receive pro-life news updates. Michael Robinson, SPUC Director of Communications said: “This app is a fantastic resource for any Catholic SPUC supporter wanting to receive informative pro-life news updates from SPUC and other outlets.”

The Catholic App, is the first app service for Catholic churches around the world. It works with Diocesan news channels and other media platforms to distribute relevant news and current affairs.

SPUC and SPUC Scotland are privileged to have news channels featured on the The Catholic App, where supporters can access daily pro-life news updates.

Michael Robinson said: “We live in a time when attempts to stifle and supress the pro-life message are rife. So, it is encouraging that this app has been created for Catholics and we would love to see similar apps for other faith groups to ensure they can also get pro-life news directly without fear of censorship. We think this new app will be a great success and encourage our Catholic supporters to make use of it.”

The app provides the opportunity for Catholics to connect and engage with the wider Catholic community. It empowers users and gives them full control of the type of news they wish to see and read.

The app can also provide a range of useful information for Catholics including mass schedules, confession times, feast days and holy days of obligation.

The Catholic App is easy to use and requires no technical skill apart from being able to use a web browser. It is simple to download and does not collect any personal data nor does it require any social media account. Language settings can changed to be English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Polish and German.
