Features

LabOra Worship is a step into the future, providing both a liturgical library and preparation help in electronic form.
The software is produced by Duplo Data in Norway and is used by Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and other churches in Europe, North America and in Australasia. Anglicans in Australia use this software under the name e-pray.

LabOra Worship is a CD library

All the material comes on a CD and installs itself on your computer. It is instantly available with no internet dialup or download time. It is easy to load up your existing resources - like the hymn words you have on your computer already, or the liturgy resources you access on the internet. LabOra keeps track of the things you write yourself: homilies, intercessions, and other resources.
