Its terrific that the app opens up on each days date with a Saints Life. The Calendar with all the Feast Days and Solemnities marked is a big help and a great feature. Its so easy to look up a patron saint prayer for any occasion and more than any occasion. I love the write ups of the Saints biographies. Where can I electronically send in my prayer requests to be prayed over by Sisters? I think this is a great idea and app and it works without a glitch!

Description
Cantcha, Inc., the makers of iMissal, have teamed up with the Daughters of St. Paul to develop a comprehensive daily Saint application.
Saint-a-Day is built using content from the extremely popular Saint-a-Day books from the Daughters of St. Paul through their publishing house, Pauline Books & Media.. The application is useful as a reference tool, for daily meditation and prayer, and as a spiritual companion. Saint-a-Day is also practical for teachers, homilists, and leaders who want to bring the lives and examples of the saints into their classrooms, homilies, and groups.
Application features include:
- Saint Biographies
• A biography for every day of the year!
• Quick navigation to todays saint biography.
• A full liturgical calendar, to quickly navigate to any saint biography of the year.
• A fully searchable, alphabetic listing of saint biographies.
• Each biography concludes with a short meditation for the day on what you can learn for your daily life from that saint.
• Biographies can be emailed to your friends and family to reflect upon.
- Prayers to Saints
• Prayers can be displayed alphabetically or by need category (e.g. addiction, sickness, financial struggles, etc.).
• Prayers can be emailed to others in need, or you can send a novena prayer to join someone in intercession for a special intention.
• Over 100 saint prayers, for example:
o St. Thérèse in Time of Need
o St. Jude to be Freed from an Addiction
o St. Lucy for Preservation of the Gift of Sight
o St. Dymphna for Someone Suffering from Depression
o St. Gerard for Motherhood
o St. Joseph to Sell a House or Property
o Police Officer’s Prayer to St. Michael
o St. Peregrine for Someone with Cancer
o and many more..
• You are not alone in your prayer! Prayer intentions can be e-mailed to a community of sisters, the Daughters of St. Paul, who will join you in prayer for your intention. You may even get a response from one of the sisters!
- Patrons
• Want to know who is the patron saint for your need? Includes a fully searchable patronage listing which can be sorted by saint or patronage.
We feel this is the most comprehensive saint application available. Since knowing the saints is actually seeing the Gospel brought to life, Saint-a-Day allows you to reflect on the lives of the saints and imitate them in your own, to turn to them for intercession, make their virtues and gifts your own through prayer, and become a stronger member of the communion of saints by joining others in your prayer.
Now you can carry this information with you in your pocket, right where you need it. You can stop in the middle of the day and offer a prayer when someone shares with you a struggle or obstacle and promise them the prayers of a group of sisters for their intention. You can also use it for that quick moment of refreshment and prayer wherever you are able to fit it in!
Note: Font size can be adjusted for biography and prayer text by clicking on the information icon on top left of the Today screen.

This is an awesome and useful App!!
Great Content
Ive looked at a few other Saint Applications and this one seems to be the best one for the money. The biographies are great and it even has a reflection at the end of each one. There are many ways to search and find a Saint. I really like that they have included a full liturgical calendar as well. There are prayers to Saints for about every need I can think of. It also has a good reference list of patron saints.
Saint A Day
A well thought out app. I like especially the prayers, and the list of who is patron of what. On the patron listing section, can there also be a link to the story of the of the particular Saint. I also like the ability to email either the saint story or the prayer. Thanks for a very nice app.
Couldnt be better!
I have been hoping and searching for an app like this since I got my iPhone! I love the great information in an easy to access format - in less than a minute Im up to date on the liturgical calendar, I learn about a great saint of the day, and I even get an original prayer to incorporate what Ive just read into my daily life. There are other great sources to search and ability to instantly e-mail information (you cant beat "one-touch evangelization")! Thank you for the best app on my phone!
More Content than Your Regular Catholic Plug
Some Catholic aps just dont go deep enough and some go too deep. This Saint A Day app cuts me just right. Theres enough in the Saints description to give me something to meditate on during the day. I know the architecture matches the iMissal app from Cantcha - but its clean, simple, efficient and gets me what I need with minimum clicks with good contrasting designs and colors. Awesome! Keep it up Daughters of St. Paul!
Wow
Very nice application!!! I definitely recommend this!!!
Great
Great product for those interested in or devoted to the saints. Its great to learn about their lives and grow in faith, and the calendar is handy. Great for everyone, Catholic or not!
