The Diocese of Salford has launched an iPhone app updated daily with Mass readings, a thought for the day and a saint of the day.

The app, created by Manchester-based Cuckoo Design company, has a four out of five star rating and is free for all iPhone users.

The diocese’s website features a video of Fr Anthony Kay VG, financial secretary, trying out the app to the accompaniment of dramatic violin music.

Fr Kay said he was “extremely pleased” with the work of Cuckoo Design. The company revamped the diocesan website as well as creating its new app.
