SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Pope Francis was scheduled to break new ground today by becoming the first Pope to launch a mobile app for iPhone, iPad, and Android. The Pontifical Mission Societies' MISSIO app is a free app that features the latest news and video from around the world about the Catholic Church. This launch event marks a unique, historic moment for the Church and her use of digital technology to connect with the faithful.
Little i Apps, an app development company, was chosen by the Pontifical Mission Societies to develop both the mobile application and the proprietary software that will allow the app to be globally activated by Pope Francis from the Vatican. Little i Apps is no stranger to drawing connections between digital and sacred spaces. In 2011, they developed and launched, Confession: A Roman Catholic App, which triggered an international response to how individuals could properly make use of digital tools to aid their spiritual lives. "We are excited and honored to have been selected to develop the first app launched by a Pope.

Many Christian churches will observe the Feast of Pentecost on Sunday.
Pentecost gets its name from being 50 days following Easter and recognizes the appearance of the Holy Spirit to Jesus' 12 apostles and other followers. The day is considered by some Christians as the "Birthday of the Church."
The traditional color for Pentecost is red, thus many churches encourage worshipers to wear red to church this weekend.
Among the celebrations planned this weekend are the following special events.
In Bowling Green: On Sunday St. Aloysius Catholic Church is hosting the first of monthly diocesan worship events for Catholics called to be part of the work of evangelization. It begins at 7 p.m. and will be led by diocesean priests with worship by the IGNITE Worship band.

ELMORE - The Lutheran congregation at Mpwapwa, Tanzania, had a problem. It was growing so quickly that the community could no longer fit into its building. A new building was designed and constructed by the members using locally made mud brick. It was precisely what the expanding parish needed with one exception: there was no roof.
Roofing materials would need to be purchased rather than made on site. And for the people of Mpwapwa, that was a barrier. Thankfully, the growing congregation had two partners willing and able to step in.
The Mpwapwa church is part of the Dodoma Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania, a diocese that is partnered with the Northwestern Ohio Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. And the Mpwapwa congregation itself is a partner with Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church of Elmore.
