The DOEPA App is a Progressive Web App (PWA), a version of doepa.org designed to function like an app on your phone or tablet. Rather than downloading the app through an app store, users can install it directly from the diocesan website. Once installed, the DOEPA App appears on your device's home screen alongside your other apps, providing convenient access to the Diocese.
Because the app is connected directly to doepa.org, diocesan content and future improvements can be made available without requiring users to download a new version from an app store.
