We asked our old friend Louis Tofari of Romanitas Press to write a post for our readers when we saw his great new, inexpensive app for priests and laymen. See below from Louis:
The 2019 Ordo for the traditional (1962) Roman Missal and
Breviary is now available again from Romanitas Press as mobile apps for both Android and Apple devices.
This digital version of the printed Ordo
for mobile devices is not only handy for the traveling clergy who follow the
traditional missal and breviary, but also for the laity as a liturgical
calendar!
The Ordo app is easy-to-use, and each entry lists the
class of day, its 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
·
Excerpta
Rubricae
·
Concurrence/Occurrence
table
·
Proper
feasts for the USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand
Best of all, once downloaded to your device, no Internet
or WiFi connection is necessary in order to access the Ordo app! And if any
updates are made, these should automatically update on your device once you are
connected to a wireless network.
The 2019 Ordo app is available for just $4.99 at Google Play Store for Android, and Itunes Connect for Apple.
