The Catholic Church in Scotland has developed a new app to help people there find their nearest Mass and Confession.
The Catholic App was spearheaded by the Diocese of Edinburgh and St Andrew's in conjunction with Scottish tech firm Musemantik.
It's thought to be the world's first interactive, GPS-powered app to help people find their nearest available place to celebrate Mass or celebrate Confession.
Archbishop Leo Cushley unveiled the app in Rome holding A3 print-outs of iPhones with the Catholic App installed on them, alongside the Vatican's Secretariat for Communication, Fr Dario Viganò.
Before the launch Archbishop Cushley was leading a pilgrimage to mark the conclusion of the Catholic Church's Jubilee Year of Mercy, which happened on Sunday.
