One reading. Five minutes.
Every day.
Daily Catholic formation for your whole family — rooted in Scripture, shaped by the liturgy, delivered to your door every morning.
You want your family to pray together.
But life is busy. Kids are distracted. You’re exhausted. And most prayer apps give you more to figure out — thousands of hours of content, endless menus, another thing to manage.
You don’t need more options. You need one clear path.
Everyone gets their own path.
& Altar gives every member of your household their own daily reflection — tied to the day’s readings, written for their stage of life.
One app. One membership. Everyone’s path, every day.

About the Founder
Domus Formation was founded by Deacon Michael Halbrook — a husband, father of four sons, and permanent deacon in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois, serving at St. Elizabeth Parish in Granite City.
After 18 years in technology leadership at Adobe, Michael founded Domus to help Catholic families build a culture of daily prayer in the home. He and his wife Suzanne believe the domestic church is where the faith lives or dies.
All of Domus Formation’s work is consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
