"Vivid and fresh. A must-have app for the New Evangelization."
—Brandon Vogt, author of "The Church and New Media"
Read with confidence knowing that the content is in line with Church teaching. The app has received two declarations from the Catholic Church:
• The Nihil Obstat, Latin for "nothing hinders", affirms that the app contains nothing contrary to faith or morals. It was granted by Monsignor Terence E. Hogan, SLD Dean, School of Theology and Ministry, St. Thomas University, Miami, FL
• The Imprimatur, Latin for "let it be printed," is an official declaration that a work may be published. The Imprimatur was conferred by The Most Reverend Thomas G. Wenski, Archbishop of Miami, FL
• The app has also been reviewed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL).

"An extraordinary work using the latest technology to advance the proclamation of the Gospel."
—The Most Reverend Thomas G. Wenski, Archbishop of Miami
Please note: The Mass Explained app focuses on the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite—the Mass with which most Catholics are familiar. The app also frequently references the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, also known as the Latin Mass.
This first volume addresses the Introductory Rites and the Liturgy of the Word. A future second volume will cover the Liturgy of the Eucharist and the Concluding Rites.
The Mass Explained app is designed to work in vertical orientation only.

Ratings and Reviews
A beautiful experience
When I first looked at the description of this, I thought it might be primarily for classroom type activity. The cost sort of put me off then the intrigue of what could be worth this much captured me and I purchased the app. Within a few minutes of starting to read, it was obvious how much effort and research had been put into this work. The graphics, the pictures, the descriptions, the history are all beautifully done. There is no way that a simple textbook could do justice to the masterpiece that is assembled in this work. I have been a Catholic for 68 years and have never found anything more interesting or educational about my faith than is assembled here. Whatever the cost of the next segment of this , sign me up.
Worth every penny!
Beautiful, elegant, seamless, Incredible!! Only ADD I can think of would be the ability to Highlight &/or take Notes. But I can just as easily use my notebook app in split screen.
As others, I too was hesitant on purchasing because of the price. For over a year I have gone back & forth, but decided to go ahead and treat myself- thinking it may help me w/ my own growth & understanding, as well as help me as a Catechist w/ my students.
I am so thankful that I did. This is an incredible app, w/ so much stuff hidden all through out. W/ everything included, and such a seamless app, I would even pay more..
Amazing App
I'll be honest - I was a little put off by the price at first, but after reading about the app I decided to give it a try. I've never looked back since. It is so worth the money. I've read a lot about the Holy Mass but nothing beats seeing with the eyes. The background information fills in so many gaps. You won't be sorry.
