Eastern Catholic Finder
Every tradition. One clear map.
You are travelling on Saturday and want a Divine Liturgy on Sunday. General church finders will hand you a Latin parish, a dead phone number, and a schedule from 2019. Eparchy publishes a listing only when someone has verified where it is, which church it belongs to, and when it actually worships — and it shows you the source and the date.
In development · iPhone & iPad, iOS 17+
Nothing is published without a verified physical location, an identified church and jurisdiction, a correct entity type, at least one current recurring public liturgy, and a source with a date on it.
Where a fact is unknown, it stays unknown. The app will not infer a schedule, rename a service, or flatten an Eastern tradition into Latin vocabulary to make a row look complete. A Holy Qurbana is a Holy Qurbana; a Holy Qurbono is a Holy Qurbono.

Verified · with the date it was checked and the source it came from
A directory is only as good as its willingness to admit what it does not know.
Supported by a current official source or direct editorial review, with the date attached. A status label without a freshness date is not a status.
Someone standing there tapped "still accurate" and no conflicting report is outstanding. Confirmations raise confidence; they never overwrite official evidence.
The source is ageing, unreachable, or contradicted. The listing says so rather than looking as authoritative as the rest.
A map when you are somewhere new, a search field when you know what you want, and no account in either case.
A full-screen map with filters and "search this area", and a separate search page for city, address, church, tradition, and language. Both open the same detail view.
The map opens on a useful regional extent. It asks for your location only when you ask it to find you, and city search works fully if you say no.
Scheduled against the church's own IANA time zone, so a daylight-saving change or a flight does not silently move your Sunday.
Saved locations keep their last fetched details on the device, and tell you when they were last refreshed. No account, ever.
A community meeting in a Latin church or a rented hall is shown as exactly that, with its host venue, so you never mistake the building for the parish.
Pins never rely on colour alone, and every nearby result reachable on the map is reachable in a list for VoiceOver.
The name sounds official. It is not, and the app repeats that wherever it could be misread.
Eparchy is not affiliated with or endorsed by any eparchy, exarchate, patriarchate, church sui iuris, parish, or the Holy See.
Coverage grows in deliberate waves, starting with the United States and Canada. A quiet region means no verified listing yet, not no community.
No calendar, no propers, no social feed. It finds communities and their recurring public liturgies, and stops there.
"Suggest a correction" opens a review with your note and source. It never edits a live listing on its own, and contradictions become review items rather than silent overwrites.
A directory funded by the people using it has no reason to sell them anything else.
