Catholic worshippers in Edinburgh and St Andrews will soon be able to use an app to locate their nearest mass.

The Catholic App will tell users where the nearest or soonest service is and use GPS to direct them to the church.

The first “confession finder” app is part of a growing trend for churches to use technology to attract and assist congregations.

The app will be launched early next year by the archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh, with another five dioceses in Scotland said to be interested in purchasing the technology from developers Musemantik.
