Initiatives for the formation
of the lay faithful

God Calls is a mobile app for Apple and Android users that helps people, especially young adults, listen to God in their daily lives. The app provides users with daily Biblical readings, proposes questions for reflection, and shares inspirational stories about the lives of the saints. The app also provides information about other Catholic organizations as well as local discernment events for those considering their vocation.

It helps people because it is daily reminder of the importance of building a relationship with God through prayer and contemplation.

God Calls is important because it encourages young adults to reflect on their faith and make this reflection accesible and a part of their everyday life.

It was a resource project of the National Office for Vocation of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales.

The God Calls app helps discerners reflect on scripture, journal, learn and pray, as well as allows them to feel a part of a wider Catholic community and offers them opportunities to come together with like-minded peers to build friendships and supportive communities.

The app was funded mostly by private donations. The app can be modified to suit other countries and the developer is willing to work with other ecclesial institutions in order for this to be made available to as many people as possible.
