Saints LightQuestions and answers
Saints Light is an independent Catholic teaching app and website. Five courses, the Prayer Book, the Rosary and the guides are free; it has not yet been reviewed by a priest or bishop, so ask your parish before using it in a parish program. The answers below cover cost, sources, privacy and parish use.
What is Saints Light?
Saints Light is a Catholic teaching app and website. It teaches the faith in 182 short lessons across 16 courses, and each lesson cites the Catechism of the Catholic Church by paragraph number, quotes Scripture and ends with three questions. It also has a Prayer Book of 93 prayers and a guided Rosary.
Is Saints Light free?
5 courses are free forever, here and in the app: Start Here, The Apostles' Creed, the children's catechism, Preparing for Baptism and Becoming Catholic (OCIA). The Bible, the Prayer Book, the Rosary and the guides are free too. In the app, every other course is open free for your first 14 days. After that, one payment of $14.99 unlocks them all. There is no subscription.
Is Saints Light approved by the Catholic Church?
No. Saints Light is an independent app. It is not an official publication of the Catholic Church, the Vatican or any diocese, and it has not yet been reviewed or blessed by a Catholic priest or bishop. It carries no imprimatur. Ask your parish before using it in a parish program. Your priest has the final word.
Who is Saints Light for?
Anyone who wants to learn the Catholic faith in order: people who are curious, adults preparing for Baptism or becoming Catholic through OCIA, Catholics coming home after years away, parents teaching their children, and parish catechists who need a lesson and a class plan.
Where does the teaching come from?
The lessons are written for Saints Light in plain words and follow the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which each lesson cites by paragraph number so you can check it. Scripture is quoted from the Douay-Rheims Bible (Challoner revision). The children's catechism uses a modern public domain translation adapted from the World English Bible, Catholic edition. Older sources such as the Baltimore Catechism and the Church Fathers are quoted from public domain editions.
Why does Saints Light not quote the Catechism?
The text of the Catechism of the Catholic Church is under copyright. Saints Light teaches its content in its own words and gives the paragraph numbers, such as CCC 1213, so you can read the exact wording in any printed copy or on the Vatican website.
Can I use Saints Light for OCIA, Baptism preparation or a First Communion class?
Ask your parish first. Saints Light has not yet been reviewed or blessed by a Catholic priest or bishop, and your priest has the final word on what may be used in a parish program. Many lessons in the free courses come with leader notes for a one hour class, which a catechist can show to the parish when asking.
Which Bible translation does Saints Light use?
Lessons quote the Douay-Rheims Bible in the Challoner revision, the classic English Catholic translation, which is in the public domain. Its wording is older than the Bible read at Mass, so your parish Bible may word a verse differently. Psalms are given with the Douay number and the number used in most modern Bibles.
What is the difference between this website and the app?
This website publishes the 5 free courses in full, the whole Prayer Book, the Rosary and the guides, plus a summary of every lesson in the other courses. The app has every lesson in full and adds progress tracking, guided classes, the whole Catholic Bible, the Mass readings, a bead by bead Rosary with sacred art, notes and highlights, and it works offline.
Does Saints Light use AI to answer questions about the faith?
No. Saints Light has no AI chatbot. When you ask a question in the app, it shows you the lessons that answer it, with their Catechism paragraphs and Scripture references. Every word was written and checked ahead of time.
Does Saints Light collect my data?
No. The app has no accounts, no analytics, no tracking and no advertising. Your progress, notes and settings stay on your phone. This website sets no cookies and has no forms.
Is there a subscription?
No. Saints Light never charges automatically. After the 14 open days you can keep using everything that is free, or unlock every course with one payment of $14.99.
Is Saints Light on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Saints Light is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android.
