Last updated: 15 September 2026

Columna is a free, not-for-profit iOS app. Progress stays on your phone. Reading happens on the Vatican's own pages.

No account required

You don't need to sign up, sign in, or create a profile. There is no Columna account in this version.

Progress stays on your device

Your place on the journey lives in the app on your iPhone. We do not keep a cloud copy of your reading.

Catechism text is not ours

Tapping a day or a part opens the official English Catechism in Safari, currently the Holy See's index at vatican.va. Columna does not host that text. Those pages follow the Vatican site, not this privacy notice.

What we don't collect

This version does not include analytics, advertising, crash reports, or a mailing list. We don't sell data. If that changes, this page will change first.

This website

The marketing site is information only. No account. No analytics on this site for now.
