Discover the saint of the day and their teachings, learn main Christian prayers, or watch video news from the Church. - these are some of the content offered by SAINT Catholic Lifestyle, a new spirituality app. Its creator, the American businesswoman Ira DeWitt, explains the origin of this project.
IRA DEWITT
Founder of SAINT
“The reason I developed the SAINT App was because I felt there was a real disconnect between the Church and people at times. There are a lot of people who want to go to Church or who want to connect with a priest that they have no access. And I wanted to give people who are curious about Catholicism access and those who are ready within the faith that wanted to connect with the faith, that also have no access”.
The app offers the possibility of praying the Rosary with actress Ali Landry, as well as the opportunity to organize pilgrimages to the most religious places in the world.

“The App in no way replaces the experience of going to Church or connecting with a priest. But there are a lot of people for varied different reasons who cannot do these things, whether be for financial reasons, illness, or because they live in a country that doesn’t allow people to practice their faith. And also, there are people that are travelling and may want to connect. It’s basically bringing the Church to the new frontier now”.
To mark SAINT’s launch, the 2024 Emmy Award-winning documentary Benedict XVI: Honoring the Truth, produced by Rome Reports, is being offered exclusively. The SAINT Catholic Lifestyle App is now available in English, and a Spanish version will be released in the coming weeks.
