The Sanctum App
The Catholic father is the priest of his own home.
This is his companion.
Open it in the morning and the day is already framed — the liturgical feast, one discipline to keep, and a Family Altar that names your own wife and children. The practice the weekly videos call you to, in the palm of your hand.
Free to begin · No ads, no trackers · From 1765 Sanctum Co.
Free to begin
The daily essentials cost nothing. Deeper formation is the optional Brotherhood Pass.
Private by design
No ad trackers. The Confession Vault is encrypted on your device and never sent to us.
Android & web
Install from Google Play, or open it in any browser — including on iPhone.
The companion to the channel
You found the videos. This is where you live them.
Every other Catholic app is built for the solitary soul. The Sanctum app is built for the man leading a household — the same primary-source, off-camera, masculine formation as the 1765 Sanctum channel and the Sunday Dispatch, carried out of the screen and into your home.
The channel forms you. The Dispatch holds you to it weekly. The app is the daily practice in between — the Rosary prayed, the conscience examined, the wife led in prayer, the children named before the Lord.
The Daily
The day, already framed — and your family named.
There is no blank screen and no setup ritual every morning. You open the app and the day is laid out for you: the liturgical season and feast, the one discipline the day asks of you, and a Family Altar that speaks to your own.
“Lead night prayer tonight with Aurora and Gianni.” “Five minutes with Maria — her intention before yours.” When a child's sacrament draws near, you'll know in time to prepare.
Lead your family
The tools no other Catholic app builds — because no other app is built for the father.
Pray With Your Wife
— Orate ad invicem —
A short, guided prayer to lead together tonight. Sit beside her, put the phone down, and the app walks you through it — thanksgiving, her intention before yours, a blessing over her. She does not need a perfect prayer. She needs you beside her before the Lord.
The Sacramental Calendar
— Per omnia sacramenta —
Every child's road to the altar in one place — Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Communion, Confirmation — with prep-window reminders that surface on your Today screen when the time comes. You will not miss the moments that matter most.
The Three-Generation Map
— Sicut pater, ita filius —
Every man inherits a chain — strengths and wounds handed down. Name the fault that should die with you and the virtue you will hand on instead, then carry it to God for ninety days. The generation before you, named. The generation after you, prayed for.
Private by design
The Confession Vault. Sealed on your device.
A private place to carry your examination of conscience to the confessional. What you write is encrypted on your own phone, under a PIN only you know, and is never sent to us or anyone else. We cannot read it or recover it — because we never receive it.
When you have been to confession, the notes are wiped. What is forgiven, God remembers no more. The Sanctum cannot forgive sins — only God does, through the priest in the Sacrament of Penance. The Vault only helps you prepare.
The full slate
The whole armory, in your hand.
The Sanctum tools you already know from the web, built for the phone and synced to your account — formation you return to, not a one-time wizard.

Built like a chapel, not a dashboard.
Who builds it
Built by a convert who fought for his country — now for his Church.
1765 Sanctum Co. is a Catholic men's formation organization — the same institution behind the weekly long-form video and the Sunday Dispatch. It is led by William Hawn: a Catholic convert (Easter 2025), a Sir Knight in the 4th Degree of the Knights of Columbus, and a U.S. Army combat veteran — a UH-60 Blackhawk crew chief and Enlisted Flight Instructor across two tours in Iraq and three years in Afghanistan.
Every claim in the app traces to the Catechism, the Doctors of the Church, and the Magisterium — the same primary-source discipline the institution is built on. We treat your family's information the way we would want ours treated.

Questions
Before you install.
Is the Sanctum app free?
Yes. The daily essentials are free — the liturgical Today view, the Visual Rosary, the examination of conscience, the prayers every Catholic man should know, and the private Confession Vault. The Brotherhood Pass ($8.99/month, billed on the web) unlocks the four deeper-formation tools: Priest of the Home, Rule of Life Builder, Navigating Annulments, and Fight Club. Cancel anytime.
What devices does it run on?
On Android, install it from the Google Play Store. On any other device — including iPhone and the desktop — open the app in your browser at 1765sanctumco.com/app. Your account and your family stay in sync across both.
Is my family's information private?
Yes. We do not sell your data and we run no advertising trackers inside the app. The Confession Vault is the strictest case: what you write is encrypted on your own phone, under a PIN only you know, and is never transmitted to us or anyone else — we cannot read it or recover it, because we never receive it.
What is the Confession Vault?
A sealed, private place to carry your examination of conscience to the confessional. Your notes are encrypted on your device with a PIN and never leave the phone. When you have been to confession, the notes are wiped. The Sanctum cannot forgive sins — only God does, through the priest in the Sacrament of Penance; the Vault only helps you prepare.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
No. Enter your email and the day is already framed for you — the liturgical season and feast, a single discipline for the day, and a Family Altar that names your own wife and children. Add your household once and the app speaks to you by name from then on.
How is it the companion to the 1765 Sanctum channel?
The 1765 Sanctum YouTube channel and the Sunday Sanctum Dispatch form you in the faith, the spiritual combat, and the forgotten history of the Church. The app is where you live it daily — the practice the videos call you to, in the palm of your hand, the same primary-source discipline carried into your home.
Who makes the Sanctum app?
1765 Sanctum Co. — a Catholic men's formation media organization (a DBA of 1765 Apparel Co. LLC), founded by William Hawn, a Catholic convert, Sir Knight in the 4th Degree of the Knights of Columbus, and U.S. Army combat veteran. The same institution behind the weekly video and the Sunday Dispatch.
