The Guide · how it all works

Your Catholic agent — spiritual growth, the way you want it.

Ideas for growing your prayer, your Scripture reading and your community life, and what you ask for made for you — today's Gospel as a short film, a trivia on it, a goal for reading Scripture — always from Scripture and the Church's own words, quoted exactly. This page is the full map — and it's machine-readable too: docs.json.

The chat

Ask, and it's made.

The app opens on a conversation with your Catholic agent. Say what you'd like in your own words — something to watch, to play, to pray or to work toward — and it is made for you right there.

A film says how it will be told before it is made (a drawn story, narrated or over music) and lands in the chat when it is ready; you can keep talking meanwhile.

Five tabs: Chat (the conversation and everything made in it), Feed (events and posts from the community), Ideas (things you could do today), Goals (what you're working toward, with Tracking), and Library (everything you've made).

Change anything by saying so — shorter, at another hour, paused, gone.

A short film

“Make me a short film of today's Gospel.”

Today's Gospel or readings, a feast, a saint's life or a teaching of the Church — told as a drawn story, narrated or over music, about a minute long. It plays in the chat and stays in your Library.

A trivia or a word game

“Make a trivia on it.”

A few questions on a film you just watched, a passage, or a topic you name — answered with a tap, each answer revealed. A round can be sent to friends.

A goal

“Help me make a goal to read Scripture.”

Reading Scripture, praying each morning, getting to a weekday Mass — set by talking it through, with its steps kept together under Goals and the next one waiting in Ideas.

A prayer for someone

“Write a prayer for my sister — she starts a new job Monday.”

A prayer written for a person you're holding, with their name in it and a recording to listen to.

A poll, a page, an app

“Make a poll for my small group: which night works for adoration?”

A question for your friends, a page of headed parts with Scripture in full, or a small app of your own — each made in the conversation.

The foundation

The daily practices.

Free forever, for everyone — each in a real tradition of the Church, each when you want it, at the hour you choose.

Daily Offering

The day handed over before it starts — work, joys, and difficulties offered as prayer.

Everyday activity, offered, becomes a spiritual sacrifice.

Lumen Gentium 34 · CCC 901

Mass Readings

The Church's readings for the day, and the Gospel as a short film when you ask for one.

Scripture as strength for faith and food for the soul.

Dei Verbum 21

Evening Examen

St. Ignatius' review of the day — gratitude, an honest look, one resolution — as a short conversation.

The examination of conscience, particular and general.

Spiritual Exercises §§24–43

The Reading Journey

A book of the Bible or one of the Church's great works, a sitting at a time — at your pace.

Prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture.

Dei Verbum 25

The Rosary & reflections

A decade or the whole Rosary to listen to and pray along with, and personal reflections for the commute or the walk.

Rosarium Virginis Mariae 3

The Angelus & the Church's prayers

The Angelus at noon, the Divine Mercy Chaplet, the Memorare — the Church's own prayers, each with its recording, when you want them.

Marialis Cultus 41

Ideas · Goals · Tracking

Ideas when you want them. Goals you keep.

Ideas

A short list of things you could do today — a way to pray, a reading to start, an event near you, something to make — ranked by what you've said and done. A yes does it now. Nothing arrives that you didn't say yes to.

Goals

One goal in your own words, with its steps and whatever serves it — a routine, a film, a reading — kept on its own page.

Tracking

What runs for you and when: each routine at the hour you chose, what was delivered and what you did. Pause or change it by saying so.

Library

Everything you've made — films, rounds, pages, apps — to open again or share.

Events & community

The Feed.

Catholic young adult events across New York — talks, socials, service nights, Holy Hours — gathered from the city's parishes and young adult groups (Hebrews 10:24–25).

Events

Each with its day, its place and I'm going; one reminder before it starts. Share an event you found and it joins the Feed.

Posts

Say something to the community in the chat and it posts to the Feed in your words, with comments and one reaction each.

Rounds & polls

A trivia or a word game you made can go to your friends with a link — they play in the app or in a browser. A poll stands in the Feed for a week.

Advanced

For those who want more.

Optional connections, each read through the Church's teaching and each off until you turn it on. Remove any of them in Settings at any time.

Work & prayer

Your calendar and mail, read-only — an intention held for the people you meet, and a word before a meeting if you want one. Nothing is ever sent for you.

Hold the people you work with in prayer.

Supplications for all people; intercession as the heart of Christian prayer.

1 Timothy 2:1 · CCC 2634–2636

Spending

Your transactions, read-only through Plaid — lines you set in plain words (how often, how much, where), with a parish or a charity counted as giving.

Give to your parish weekly.

The faithful provide for the material needs of the Church, each according to ability — and God loves a cheerful giver.

CCC 2043 · 2 Corinthians 9:7

Places

Your visits, from location on your account only — the hours at the places you name, and Sunday kept for rest.

Keep Sunday for rest and Mass.

Human life has a rhythm of work and rest, and God's own rest is its model.

CCC 2184–2185

Investing

Your own brokerage account, at a level you choose, guided by our ranking of companies' AI work under the Church's teaching; every order placed only on your tap. See /investing and the BuildSaints portfolio at /invest.

Invest as a steward.

Avoid what wounds human dignity and promote the common good.

USCCB Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines (2021)

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

A saint and your parish

Tap the agent’s icon at the top of the chat to choose a saint to walk with as your intercessor — the chat then speaks in their way, from their own words — and your parish, for its Mass times and events first.

The honest register

Your data, plainly.

What you share

Your words, your goals and what you make stay on your account. Nothing is sold.

Connections

Bank (read-only through Plaid), mail and calendar, location — only if you connect them, and removable in Settings.

Community

What you post in the Feed is seen by the community; your chat, your goals and what you make for yourself stay yours unless you share them.

Erase

Delete your account in Settings and everything of yours is erased.

The posture

It is an AI agent, and says so. Every quotation and citation is checked against its source before it reaches you.

Begin.

Free — your daily practices and your community, always, and a weekly allowance of things made for you.
$10/mo — membership: everything made for you, without a weekly limit.
