Catholic Traveller helps Catholics fulfil their obligation to attend Mass whilst travelling, by making it simple to find a suitable Mass anywhere in the United Kingdom — on your route, near your destination, at a time that works for your journey.
What it does
- Find Saturday Vigil and Sunday Masses along your route or near your destination.
- See estimated travel time and detour distance for every church, so you can choose the Mass that best fits your journey.
- Practical traveller information rarely found elsewhere: parking, motorway proximity, and accessibility details.
- Confirm a Mass time after attending, helping keep the information accurate for the next traveller.
Free, and staying that way
Core Mass-finding will always be free, for everyone. Catholic Traveller is a focused traveller's companion, not a general Catholic lifestyle platform — no adverts, no social feed, no distractions. Just help getting to Mass.
Launching first on UK motorway routes
Version 1 begins with churches within a short detour of the M1 and M6 corridors — from London to Leeds, and the Midlands to the Scottish border — with coverage expanding from there. The app launches on Google Play, with iPhone and a full web version planned to follow.
Want to help test the app before release, or help verify Mass times in your area? We'd love to hear from you: admin@catholictraveller.org
Supporting the running of the app
Catholic Traveller is built and run by one parishioner, in his own time, and finding a Mass will always be free — no adverts, no subscription, and no feature ever placed behind a donation.
Running it isn't quite free, though: around £40 spent so far on the domain and Play Store registration, roughly £16–18 a year after that, and a further ~£80 a year once the iPhone version arrives. A simple, transparent way to help cover those costs — with an honest account of where every pound goes — is on its way alongside launch.
Until then, the best way to support the project is by testing it, verifying Mass times in your area, or simply spreading the word: admin@catholictraveller.org
