New iPraises App: A Free Prayer Tool from the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton

The Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Edmonton is pleased to announce the release of the newly updated iPraises App — a beautifully designed, all-in-one resource created to help the faithful stay prayerful and connected to the Byzantine Liturgical Year.
Originally inspired by Bishop David Motiuk’s initiative to support digital faith tools, iPraises has been completely rebuilt to serve the faithful in Alberta and across the global Church.

A Mission to Serve the Digital Faithful
In a time when screens and schedules often distract us from prayer, iPraises invites users to pause, reflect, and connect with God, right from their mobile device. Whether during a commute, a quiet moment, or time at church, the app offers a gentle and faithful reminder that prayer is always within reach.
Who Can Use It?
The app is designed for clergy, families, youth, catechists, and all members of the Church looking for a simple, modern tool to support their spiritual life. It’s handy for online parishioners, young adults, and those looking to stay connected to Church teachings in their daily routine.
