## What it is

Pick the days you have a Mass. LiturgyGen works out the liturgical day, fetches the readings, attaches the right Prayers of the Faithful, and hands back a Word file laid out exactly like the office's printed missalette.

Built with React, Express and PostgreSQL.

## Why it is here

It was built for a real office on campus, with a real person who was retyping these by hand. That is the whole brief of this course in one project. The first load takes a minute while the free server wakes up; the page tells you so, which I appreciate.
