Sacra: Church Calendar
Live the Church Year at Home
$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A Protestant companion for the church year. Daily prayers, lectionary readings, family activities, and a beautiful seasonal calendar. Fully offline, fully private.
How do you explain the Feast of the Epiphany to a six-year-old? How do you make Lent meaningful for your whole family? Sacra is more than a calendar. It is a guide for living the beauty of the church year together.
A LIVING CALENDAR
At the heart of Sacra is an interactive calendar wheel that guides you through all eight seasons: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time. The colors, themes, and imagery shift with the seasons, helping your family feel the rhythm of the church year as it unfolds.
FAMILY ACTIVITIES FOR EVERY SEASON
Sacra includes activities for every season: crafts, devotionals, service projects, recipes, and more. Each one comes with step-by-step instructions, a materials list, age recommendations, and a Scripture connection. They are designed to help families experience the church year together in simple, meaningful ways.
MORNING & EVENING PRAYER
Each day offers a morning and evening prayer rooted in the themes of the current season. From the quiet hope of Advent to the bold joy of Easter, every prayer is thoughtfully written and paired with Scripture from the World English Bible. There are prayers here for every day of the year, written to draw you deeper into each season's meaning.
THE REVISED COMMON LECTIONARY
The complete three-year lectionary cycle is included, with Old Testament, Psalm, Epistle, and Gospel readings for every Sunday and major feast day. Full Scripture text is right in the app, so you can read and reflect without needing anything else.
THE STORY BEHIND THE SEASONS
Each season and feast day includes historical context, theological reflection, and notes on how different traditions observe it. These are not dry encyclopedia entries. They are written to help you understand and love the church year more deeply.
YOUR TRADITION, HONORED
During setup, you choose your tradition, and Sacra adapts. Anglican and Lutheran users see additional feast days. Terminology and Advent color options adjust to match your background. Throughout, Sacra follows the Revised Common Lectionary, the shared calendar of readings used across Protestant traditions, so the heart of the church year stays the same wherever you worship.
DESIGNED FOR CONTEMPLATION
The seasonal color palette, warm watercolor illustrations, and thoughtful typography are all designed to create a quiet, inviting space. This is an app meant to slow you down, not speed you up.
WIDGETS FOR YOUR HOME SCREEN
Stay connected to the church year from your home screen, lock screen, or StandBy mode. Widgets show the current season, a daily verse, and upcoming feast days.
YOUR PRIVACY, RESPECTED

What's new in 1.2.0:
A careful pass over the content in every part of the app: Scripture, prayers, the calendar, and the family activities.
- Every Sunday and feast day reading is now complete. Passages no longer stop short or skip verses without telling you
- Palm Sunday now includes the Passion reading, so the story no longer goes from the triumphal entry straight to the empty tomb
- Added the Second Sunday after Christmas, which was missing from Year A
- Scripture now renders the divine name the same way everywhere
- Allergen notes across the recipes, including sesame, dairy, egg and nut warnings that were missing
- Choking warnings wherever something is hidden in food, plus safety notes for hot oil, candles and the oven. The King Cake no longer asks you to put anything plastic in the oven
- The palm cross craft now has folding instructions that actually work, with a printable step-by-step diagram
- Corrected the Advent wreath candle meanings. Joy belongs to the pink candle
- Fixed a run of Ordinary Time prayers whose closing prayer had drifted onto a different passage, and completed the verses that stopped mid-sentence
- Corrected the Sunday names after Pentecost in all three years
- Fixed a season counter that could read "Day 25 of 24," and fixed days late in Ordinary Time where the daily prayer and verse did not appear at all
- Activities that run over several weeks now say so in their time estimate
- Refreshed the writing in the season and feast day notes, and a few historical stories are now honestly labeled as tradition rather than fact
