Welcome to & Altar.
Daily Catholic prayer, fasting, and almsgiving - shaped for your household.
What & Altar Is
& 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, a Catholic company forming Catholic households one day at a time.

Common Questions
Do I have to download an app?
No. You can read Domus on the web, get it by email, use the app, or any combination. You choose.
What if I want to add another path later?
You can. Many households use Hearth together and Iron or Vessel individually. Add or change paths anytime from your account.
Is this Catholic?
Yes. Domus is built on the Church’s daily Scripture readings - the same readings prayed at Mass around the world each day - with reflection written for the season of life you’re in.
