Mass Times for Travel

Being away from home on a Sunday brings a simple, practical need: finding a Mass you can get to. Mass Times for Travel is the official app of MassTimes.org, and it does one job extremely well. It helps you find Mass wherever you are, on vacation, on a business trip or visiting family in a new city.

How it works

Open the app in an unfamiliar place and it shows the nearest churches and their Mass times. It draws on what may be the largest database of Catholic churches and service times anywhere, kept up to date by dioceses, parishes and volunteers. That shared effort is what makes it useful in small towns as well as big cities. The app is free, tiny at 3.4 MB, and was updated in April 2026. It runs on iPhone and iPad.

It holds a 4.3 rating from more than 260 users, which fits an app people reach for when they need it rather than open every day.

One caveat

The only real caveat is the same one that applies to any database: times change. Parishes adjust schedules for summer, holy days and holidays, and listings can lag behind. It is worth calling ahead or checking the parish website, especially for a holy day of obligation or around Christmas and Easter. Treat the app as the first place to look rather than the last word.

It suits travellers, people whose work keeps them on the road, families on vacation, and students away at school looking for a parish. It is also handy at home when you miss your usual Mass and need another one nearby.

The verdict: Mass Times for Travel is free, quick and does exactly what it promises. Keep it on your phone for every trip, and confirm times with the parish when it matters.
