About Catholic Mass Times

“Catholic Mass Times” is a project created by young Catholics who are passionate about helping others to get closer to their Father God, visit him more frequently, accompany him, thank him and express their love.

“Catholic Mass Times” is promoted by the Nuestra Señora de la Merced Foundation, located at Esmeralda 759 in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, to contribute to the dissemination and facilitate the location of the physical places where people can approach to live their Catholic faith and join the activities of spiritual formation and solidarity aid that are developed in parishes and Catholic churches.

App versions

“Catholic Mass Times” launched the first version of the app for iOS on March 19, 2014, the feast of St. Joseph, and the first version for Android on May 5, 2014, both of which were available only in Spanish.

Over time we have added localization for other languages and we have decided that in each language the app will have its name translated:

Deutsche – Heilige Messe Zeiten

Polskie – Godziny Mszy świętych

русский – Расписание святых Месс

па-беларуску – Расклад святых Імшаў

Why do we go to Mass?

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we Catholics attend Holy Mass for the following reasons:

• To give glory to God and honor Him as He deserves.
• This is known as the latreutic end of Holy Mass.
• To give thanks.
• This is known as the eucharistic end of Holy Mass.
• To ask for forgiveness for our sins and those of the whole world, and to offer prayers for the souls in purgatory.
• This is known as the propitiatory end of Holy Mass.
• To seek God’s help for our needs and the needs of others.
• This is known as the impetratory end of Holy Mass.
