SUMMER IN
GOD'S COUNTRY
Forty two pilgrims traveled from the Watertown area to St. Anne's Shrine in Isle La Motte to attend Mass with Bishop LaValley, share in a picnic and participate in benediction and the rosary at the annual Knights of Columbus pilgrimage to the Vermont shrine. The bus load was led by Bill and Joan Boulio. Also pictured is Edmundite Father Brian Cummings, SSE, Shrine Spiritual Director. (Photo by Colleen Miner)

Smartphone applications integrate prayer life with daily technology ARLINGTON, Va. (CNS) -- Praying is now so 21st century. Instead of a paperback missalette, there's iMissal. Instead of prayer cards, there's a touch-screen Saint A Day. Instead of randomly jotting down prayer requests, there's a digitally organized list in PrayerSteward. These three applications -- better known as apps -- only scratch the surface of faith-related digital materials available in Apple's App Store and, to a lesser extent, in the Android Market and Palm Pre App Catalog. With these digital Catholic resources comes the undeniable convenience of modern-day prayer. "I know people who before they even get out of bed they have their iPod Touch or their iPhone in their hand," said Sister Kathryn James Hermes, a Daughter of St. Paul and director of digital publishing for Pauline Books and Media, in an interview with the Arlington Catholic Herald, newspaper of the Arlington Diocese. "You could be looking at the psalms or the morning meditation," she added. In March, Parks Associates, a market research and consulting company specializing in digital technologies, reported that smartphone (i.e. iPhone, Android, Palm Pre) users are expected to quadruple by 2014, resulting in 1 billion users worldwide. That's a market that everyone, even the Vatican, can get behind.
