Pray daily, with the Church.

& Altar gives you the day’s Mass readings, a short reflection, and one small thing to carry with you. Five minutes of reading. Stay as long as you want.

& Altar, from Domus Formation

“For the first time in my life, I am consistently taking the time to read the daily readings. God’s message for you changes every day.”
Suzanne Halbrook, Granite City. She is my wife, which matters here: this is what our own household prays with every morning.

What & Altar Is

Five minutes. Every day.

& Altar is a Catholic prayer app for the domestic church. Daily Scripture, a short reflection, and a small concrete practice for the day - all shaped for the state of life you’re actually in.

Choose from eight paths - for families, for men, for women, for elders, for young adults, for teens, and for Hispanic Catholic families. Add fasting and almsgiving invitations. Pray with your household. Join voluntary Catholic Groups with other adult subscribers.

& Altar is built by Domus Formation, founded by Deacon Michael Halbrook, a permanent deacon of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois.
