This column wasn't my idea. It's inspired by two women in my life, one of whom has a new iPad, and the other of whom asked about Catholic apps for her son's iPod Touch.

My favorite Catholic apps, the ones that I touch so often they get their own folder on my dock. I never want them far from me.

I do have a whole screen/page of Catholic apps, mind you.

And I have a folder of apps I need to check out for review. (This is almost as good as the bulging shelf of books to review. Almost.)

Let's start with the folder on my dock, pictured below, what I'll call my Essential Catholic Apps. Here's what it includes:

When I do a novena that has an app associated with it, I'll add it to this folder as well.

There are more Catholic apps on my iPad, but these are the "top 13" right now.

YOUR TURN: What are YOUR essential Catholic apps?
