I’m a 27 year old Catholic convert, from presbyterianism to the Byzantine (particularly Romanian) rite of the Catholic Church. I’m the Assistant Communications Director for the Pro-Life Action League, an organization committed to protecting all human life at all stages of human life.
I like indie rock, independent films, micro-brewed beer, and most other things made with loving care in small batches. I live with my beautiful wife Erin, my one year old son Ambrose, and my brand new son Peter, in Aurora, Illinois.
I like to sing the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, or any Byzantine chant really. We’re pretty much at Church any time the doors are open. We attend St. George parish in Aurora, IL. I guess that’s more or less it. Thanks for stopping by!

I’d like to offer this story on my application that brings the prayer on iPhone.
I believe that prayer is Christian and Catholic from spreading. You wonder why you can publish the news and if you can spread it to your friends on your blog.
thanks

Vatican. iBreviary: Church pray with iPhone
Dear Sirs,
Editing and Friends of iBreviary,
iBreviary, as you know, it’s a new application for iPhone,
available from immediately in Spanish, French, English, Latin and Italian.
iBreviary offers the possibility, in a simple way and in a perfect “Apple
style”, to pray in mobility with the prayer of the Breviary.
It offers besides the readings of the Mass of the Day (Missal), as well as the
principal Catholic prayers.
The application, realized by me together with the technician and
developer Dimitri Giani, has got the applause and the encouragement
of the Vatican.
iBreviary has now reached its third updating.
This updating brings important changes:
- available application in version Italian and English
- available readings in English, French, Spanish, Latin and in Ambrosian Rite
- possibility to pray with the Compieta of the previous day
- new dress graphics
- possibility to increase the size of the characters
- possibility of use in formed “landscape” rotating the iPhone
- page of explanation about the use of the Breviary
- fix of some bugs
The application is available inside the app store to the price of
support for the developers of 0,79 cents (Euro).
Besides, also Facebook will have his “digital Breviary”. Its name is
“Praybook” and it’s an available application on the most important social
network of the world.
The application allows to pray on line with the same prayers of iBreviary.
Thanks for everything.
