Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Today, we celebrate a remarkable milestone in our journey of faith and devotion. On August 6th, 2006, our very first Catholic website and podcast series went live. Eighteen years later, the prayer community at DivineOffice.org is thriving more than ever, and we are filled with gratitude and joy as we reflect on our journey together.

From our humble beginnings, our mission has always been to evangelize and nurture the Catholic relationship with God through the Liturgy of the Hours. Over the years, your unwavering support and participation have helped us grow into a vibrant, global prayer community.

Reflecting on the Past Year

The past 12 months have been nothing short of extraordinary. Here are some highlights:

  • 4.5 Million Visits: Our website has seen over 4.5 million visits, a significant increase from the 2.5 million visits in 2012. This growth is a testament to the enduring need and love for communal prayer.
  • 760,000 Active Users: Our active user base has grown to over 760,000, up from 525,000 in 2012. Each one of you brings unique faith and devotion, enriching our community.
  • 328,000 Facebook Followers: Our social media presence has flourished with over 328,000 followers on Facebook, compared to 15,000 combined followers across Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ in 2012. Your engagement on these platforms has helped spread the message of Divine Office far and wide.

A Community United in Prayer

Our success is not measured by numbers alone but by the strong sense of community and shared faith that binds us together. Every prayer said, every reflection shared, and every moment of devotion contributes to the beautiful tapestry of our community. Whether you have been with us since the beginning or have recently joined, your presence is a blessing to us all.

Exciting News: A New Initiative

As we celebrate this special anniversary, we are thrilled to announce a significant new project: the creation of a Spanish version of our website, apps, and podcasts. Spanish-speaking Catholics represent the largest Catholic community in the world, and we are committed to serving this vibrant and growing community.

To support this initiative, we will soon be launching a special fundraiser. Your contributions have always been crucial to our mission, and with your help, we can bring the Liturgy of the Hours to even more people around the globe.

Sustaining Our Mission

Divine Office operates solely through the generosity of our community members. Your donations ensure we can continue providing the Liturgy of the Hours, maintaining our website, creating new content, and supporting our global prayer community. If you feel called to support our mission, and it’s not a burden to you, please consider making a contribution HERE.

Thank You

We want to extend our gratitude to each and every one of you. Your faith, support, and participation have been the driving force behind our success. Let us continue to pray together, support one another, and spread the light of Divine Office to every corner of the globe.

Happy birthday, Divine Office! Here’s to many more years of faith, prayer, and community.

With deep gratitude,
– The Divine Office Team

Pray anywhere
I have prayed the Divine Office for many years. [...] When I discovered this app, all of my concerns of ribbon placement were gone. Having the Divine Office on my phone is absolutely the best thing ever! The sense of community is so wonderful as I see how many others are praying at the same time as myself. [...] Now I don’t need to turn a lamp on as I use to when I used the Office printed volumes. It is such a blessing to have the Divine Office in my pocket. Many times I’ve been sitting in a doctor’s waiting room at the time of Mid Morning prayer. It is so calming of any worries to pull out my phone, open the app, and be able to connect with Our Lord at those times I need Him most. I don’t use the audio version much but the few times I’ve traveled, it is so comforting to not have to skip the Office in order to keep my hands on the steering wheel and my eyes in the road. I recommend this app to friends all the time, especially to those who’d like to pray the Office but feel intimidated by the size of the printed version and getting the ribbons placed properly. Thank you for developing this app. It is my constant companion.

Super helpful
I have only been introduced to the divine office prayers two times before I downloaded this app. It is laid out in a way that is very easy to understand, and there is an audio option that will say all of the prayers. There is an option to set reminders throughout the day. I got this because, I didn’t really know how to say the divine office, and I didn’t know what prayer books I needed to purchase to begin. During the shutting down of churches for covid :( this has been a wonderful resource. One cool feature is that you can tap on the “in prayer” link and see little specks of light around the globe lighting up in the area that someone else is praying. It’s so cool to see everyone praying with you and is a powerful reminder that we are all connected and unified in Christ’s mystical body.

Praying with the whole Church
I love this app! Since it is now free and no longer for sale, I made sure to donate the price of buying it, and then some. I have loved the Liturgy of the Hours for 25 years. But I always felt alone when I prayed it. With this app, I am connected to others! I use it in conjunction with my printed Christian Prayer volume. On other days, I cannot get to my book but with the app, I always have the prayers available. I have the printed calendar with my book, but I actually rely on this more for placing my ribbons. The audio is wonderful!! I often read out loud with it. I love that I can change the speed of the audio! I have found that 1.3 is good for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this app. Thank you for still supporting it. Thank you for updating the “one God,” to just “God” change in the prayers. My book still throws me off but your app is right! Highly recommend this. Many friends have it. THANK YOU!!
