About Gettomass

Gettomass helps Catholics in Nigeria find a parish, check Mass times and the language each Mass is in, and see when confession and adoration are available. It’s quick, it works on a slow connection, and you don’t need an account.

The story behind it

Gettomass was started by Nongov Kelvin, a documentary filmmaker and video editor based in Ibadan. He is a parishioner of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Bashorun, in the Archdiocese of Ibadan.

Kelvin’s work has taken him through all 36 states of Nigeria, filming people and stories in places he had never been. As a Catholic on the road, he kept running into the same problem: arriving in an unfamiliar town on a Saturday evening with no reliable way to find the nearest Catholic church, or what time Sunday Mass would start, or whether it would be in English, Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa.

The information existed, but it was scattered across parish notice boards, Facebook pages, and the memory of whoever answered the phone. For someone who travels for a living, that made practising the faith harder than it should be. So he decided to fix it.

Gettomass is Kelvin’s first software product. He built it the way he makes documentaries: by going to the source, checking the facts, and caring about getting the story right.

About Kelvin

Kelvin is the founder of NONGOVMEDIA and of Project Nkali, a multimedia platform telling African stories through film, photography and sound. As an editor he has cut more than 100 YouTube documentaries for BetterWealth and produced over 400 webinars for the Freelance Coalition for Developing Countries. He trained in Human Anatomy before turning to film.
