Hello! I’m Pradeep Augustine, the founder of Catholic Gallery. I come from the village of Royappanpatti in Theni District, Tamil Nadu, India, and I hold a degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Though my academic background is in engineering, my passion for writing and interest in digital ministry led me down a different path.
How Catholic Gallery Began
Catholic Gallery started in 2013 as a hobby project. I wanted to create a clean, reliable space online where anyone could access Catholic prayers and spiritual resources with ease. Over time, what began as a small personal effort grew into a global platform serving around one million page views every month.
What Catholic Gallery Offers
Today, Catholic Gallery provides a wide range of resources for Catholics around the world, including:
- Daily Mass Readings in multiple languages
- Prayers and devotional collections
- Inspiring Quotes from saints and Scripture
- Bible-in-a-Year Plans
- Bible with Audio Support
- Catechism Content
- Reflections, Homilies, and Catholic Articles
- Beautiful Image Gallery featuring inspirational visuals
Our goal is simple: to make faith resources accessible, reliable, and easy to navigate for everyone.
Apps and Social Platforms
To reach more users, Catholic Gallery is also available as official apps for Android and iOS, offering convenient access to readings, prayers, and other content on the go.
We maintain active communities on our official Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram channels, where we share updates, reflections, and other Catholic content to support the spiritual lives of our followers. My wife, Bharathi, also helps with managing and maintaining our social platforms.
My Journey
Running Catholic Gallery as a part-time project encouraged me to develop strong skills in web development, allowing me to build and maintain the entire platform myself. Alongside Catholic Gallery, I continue working in my separate professional role, while dedicating much of my free time to improving and expanding the website and apps.
A Mission From the Heart
What motivates me most is the messages from readers—people who find comfort, inspiration, and spiritual support through the website. My hope is to continue growing Catholic Gallery and to keep offering valuable, faith-filled content to people around the world.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
