Let us pray
Oremus
A companion for your prayer life. Daily prayer times, the intentions you carry, novenas and devotions, the Rosary — and the responses of the Mass, learned here so you can give them fully there. Nothing on a screen replaces being in the pew.
Voice-guided prayer. Courses, quizzes, and trivia to learn the faith. Spaced repetition when you want a prayer by heart. Built for adult converts and anyone who didn't grow up absorbing the prayers by habit.
I went through OCIA in my thirties.
I was working full time, busy in the way most adults are. During the preparation for baptism, we were asked to pray the Hail Mary.
I didn't know it.
No one had ever explicitly told me to sit down and learn the important prayers. I was expected to absorb them — by being in the room, by hearing them at Mass, by some kind of osmosis. I felt left out, until I made myself practice.
And it wasn't only the words. It was the whole life around them — a rhythm of daily prayer, the intentions I'd promised to carry, a novena I'd start and lose track of by day four, the parts of the Mass, the saints I was only beginning to meet. Someone who grew up Catholic can take for granted that all of this is just there — already in them. Adult converts know better. It's built one prayer, one habit, one day at a time.
Oremus is the tool I needed and didn't have. A place where my prayer life actually lives — what I'm praying, who I'm praying for, what I'm learning, and yes, the prayers I want by heart. For the OCIA candidate finding their footing. For the convert joining the Mass responses confidently for the first time. For anyone who wants to pray more, and pray better, than they do today.
Your prayer life, in one place
Prayer is the center of Oremus — not a feature bolted onto a study app. Everything you pray, and everything you're praying for, lives here.
Daily prayer times
Set the hours you want to pray — morning offering, the noon Angelus, an evening examen — and Oremus keeps the rhythm with you.
Intentions
Keep the people and needs you're praying for in one place, so no one you promised to pray for slips your mind.
Novenas & devotions
Multi-day devotions and novenas, one day at a time. Miss a day? Pick up where you left off.
The Rosary & preparing for Mass
Voice-guided Rosary with a digital bead wheel and hands-free mode for the car. Learn the Mass parts and responses here so you can participate confidently at your parish — the app prepares you for Mass; it never stands in for it.
When you pray with Oremus, you pray aloud, phrase by phrase. We listen through your phone's microphone and show you what matched the canonical text — so the words become yours, whether or not you ever set out to memorize them.
Learn the faith as you pray it
Praying and learning feed each other. Oremus carries a learning wing alongside the prayer hub:
Courses
The Catechism, the sacraments, the liturgical year — structured courses with adaptive difficulty, so you're never bored and never crushed.
Quizzes & trivia
Quick checks and trivia rounds on what the Church teaches. Mock exams and OCIA-style reviews when you're preparing to be examined on what you believe.
The saints
Meet the saints — their lives, their feast days, their prayers — and let their witness shape yours.
Catholic symbols
The signs and symbols of the faith — what they mean, where they come from, and why the Church uses them.
And when you want it by heart
Memorization isn't the point of Oremus — praying is. But when you want a prayer by heart, Oremus is where it sticks:
- You speak it aloud. Saying something from memory beats reading it silently — by a lot. (Production effect; MacLeod 2010 if you want the receipt.)
- You're tested, not just shown. Retrieval practice — pulling the answer from your own head — outperforms re-reading by a wide margin (Roediger & Karpicke 2006).
- The schedule fights forgetting. The Ebbinghaus forgetting curve is real; the only thing that beats it is reviewing before you forget. We schedule those reviews for you so you don't have to.
A prayer you hold by heart is one you can pray in the car, in the hospital waiting room, at a bedside — anywhere, with no screen in your hand.
Who it's for
OCIA candidates
Adults entering the Church. The prayers, the Creed, the Mass parts — everything the program assumes you'll absorb, made into a concrete daily practice instead.
Catholic school students + teachers
K-8 prayer + sacrament curricula. Teacher dashboards to track the whole class. FERPA-compliant. Kids learn, teachers see proof.
Adult converts
You've come into the Church and a daily prayer life still doesn't come naturally. Oremus gives it structure until it does.
Diaconal candidates + seminarians
Liturgy of the Hours, sacramental forms, scripture for homily prep. Formation programs already require this — Oremus gives you a daily practice that fits between job and family.
Devout Catholics deepening practice
You already pray the Rosary daily. Oremus makes it easier to add novenas, the Angelus, an evening examen — and notice when a habit is slipping.
Families
Hands-free Rosary mode for the car. Multi-user accounts. Teach your kids the prayers without making it feel like homework.
Where the money goes
Oremus is not built to make anyone rich. Subscriptions and gifts cover what it costs to run the app — text-to-speech, AI, hosting — and any profit beyond those costs is donated to charity.
You don't have to take my word for it. The books are public: revenue, costs by provider, and surplus, updated in real time.
Why "Oremus"
“Pray without ceasing.”
1 Thessalonians 5:17
“Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples.”
Luke 11:1
“They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to the communal life, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers.”
Acts 2:42
Oremus — “let us pray.” The invitation the Church has spoken before her prayers for centuries. Not a private exercise, but a call answered together — bringing what you carry back to God, again and again.
