OverviewThe three parts of the system
New hereNever used the app? Start here
Three parts, three different jobs
| Part | Where | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile app | App Store · Google Play | Mass times, daily Scripture, quizzes, Light Points |
| Dashboard | dash.i-catholic.org | Managing the parish and catechism classes — work that needs a keyboard |
| Website | i-catholic.org | Reading Church news, publishing parish articles |
You only need the mobile app. The other two are for people given management duties by the parish.

Frequently asked questions
Which part should I use?
If you are a parishioner: the mobile app is all you need. If your parish has asked you to update information or manage catechism classes, also use the Dashboard on a computer.
My phone is old — will it work?
The app needs a supported version of Android or iOS. A phone that is too old may not install it — use another phone, or open i-catholic.org to read the news.
I need parish admin rights. What do I do?
You can send the request yourself from inside the app — see Register as a church administrator. The request is reviewed by the administration team. Rights inside Catechism Classes are different: an administrator at your parish adds you and picks your role.
Google sign-in fails?
Check your connection and try again. If your phone has several Google accounts, pick the one your parish granted rights to (if you are a catechist or an administrator).
