This site is dedicated to Saint Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa), our mother in the Faith, and to Saint Jude, who we believe has interceded for us many times.

To Make Sacred Moments of the Minutes in the Margin

We're all so busy nowadays that sometimes the most important things get pushed out to the margins. What if there was a resource we could access anywhere, anytime, that would help us make the most of those minutes in the margin and reconnect with Who and what is really important?

At The Mobile Catholic, our intention is not to provide an exhaustive application that overwhelms with hundreds of prayers and devotions, but rather a pocket app of the essentials, to help today's busy Catholics build, maintain, and increase their spiritual momentum.

We became Catholics in 1996, shortly after learning to pray the Rosary. We were converted through the intervention of several friends, an elderly couple who mentored us, and the Rosary and The Gold Book of Prayers (which later became the inspiration for the Mobile Catholic).

Because we wanted the content to be truly mobile, always available.

A "web app" is a web site that functions like an app that you would install on your device. It may be a little slower than a true app, but the upside is that it isn't installed - it lives on the web, so you can use it on any device that has an internet connection.

jQuery Mobile has built upon the ubiquity of the web and created a "mobile web app" platform that, while optimized for mobile devices, can intelligently respond to larger devices, like tablets and PCs.

The end result is a site that looks great and functions well on any device - smartphone, tablet, or computer; a mobile web app that doesn't need to be installed to be used; and one that is always available on every device that has an internet connection.

The Mobile Catholic is built entirely on the jQuery Mobile framework, so JavaScript is required to view it correctly.

If the site looks "wrong," you may need to activate JavaScript in your browser. See browser settings to adjust this.

A great resource, Catholicity was there from the earliest days of our conversion. Home to popular free Catholic CDs and novels, Catholic news and commentary, and the Best Catholic Links on the web, it's definitely worth a visit
