Our friends at Romanitas Press have just produced a trial version of their mobile Android app of the 2017 Ordo for the traditional Roman Missal and Breviary (1962) — and it's only 99 cents. The 2018 version for both Android and Apple should be available next month.
This digital version of the Ordo for Android devices is not only handy for the traveling clergy who follow the traditional missal and breviary, but also for the laity as a mobile liturgical calendar for attending the traditional Mass.
This Ordo app is easy to use and each entry lists the class of the day, proper Mass (or options), Office’s color, and variable parts of the Mass and Breviary. Also included are helpful notes such as when a Requiem Mass is prohibited — and specifically for pastors, pulpit announcements of the liturgical year.
This app also features several useful appendixes via an omnipresent drop-down menu:
- Explanations of abbreviations and signs
- USA calendar of feasts
- Canada calendar of feasts
This Ordo app version for 2017 can be downloaded via Romanitas Press’ Google Play Store. Also, the 2018 Ordo app version for Android devices and Iphones should be available by late November.
