Sometimes we have a free hour and want to use it to go to Mass, but we don’t know where or if there is a celebration nearby at that time. Other times we are traveling and need to find a Mass at a specific time. For that, the Catholic Mass Times app offers a very practical function: the search by time.
With this tool, in seconds you can find out which churches celebrate Mass near you (or in any city) at the time that suits you. Below, we explain how to use it step by step.
Steps to Open Directions to a Church:
1. Open the App and Allow Access to your Location
2. Use the Search Engine 🔍
At the top of the screen, tap the magnifying glass icon to open the search engine. There you can type the exact time you are interested in.
3. Enter the Time You are Looking For
For example: 8:00, 12:30, 7:00pm.
When you type it, the app will show a list of Masses close to that time. You will first see those that are geographically closest to you.
4. Review the Options
Each church shown will include details about the Mass that matches your search. If you tap the name of the parish, you will see more information: address, all schedules, confessions, adoration, phone number, etc.
5. Go to Mass!
With the search by time function, the Catholic Mass Times application adapts to your day to day. There is no need to check websites or call by phone: now you can know in seconds if there is a Mass nearby at the time you need.
If you have not already downloaded it, you can do so for free on Google Play or the App Store.
Related Frequently Asked Questions:
What if there is No Mass Exactly at that Time?
The app is flexible: if there is no exact Mass, it will show you other celebrations that occur shortly before or after the time you entered, so you can find the best alternative.
Can I Filter the Search by Day and Time?
Currently, you can only search by time. The app will show you the closest Masses that are celebrated from the moment you are doing the search.
It is not possible to select a specific day (for example, “Sunday”) to see the Masses of that day.
It is a function that many users value and that could be implemented in the future, but for now, the search is always for the current day.
