Being single is often associated with being lonely or just waiting for that next step of your life. But at Catholic Singles, we think the single life is a time for you to thrive and grow closer in your relationship with God. These posts are some of our thoughts and thoughts of our members on the single life in today’s world as a Catholic.
Let’s face it: many of us are waiting for that long term relationship that will lead to marriage. But what are we doing today to prepare for our future partner? The single life shouldn’t be a period of just waiting until you are in a relationship. It should be a time where you spend time preparing yourself for your future partner.
Growing up, Thanksgiving was a big deal in my family. Mostly, because it was a reason for my large extended family to gather together. We had some fun, and of course ate some delicious food as well. But we never did that thing you always see on TV where everyone goes around the table and […]
January 19 marked the 46th annual pro-life March for Life in Washington D.C. January 22 is the National Day of Prayer for the legal protection of the unborn. The pro-life cause is important and something we should be aware of as Catholics. But as Catholics, we should all be personally involved in working to protect life […]
Are you single but wishing you weren’t? Maybe you’ve known since you were little that you want to be married.

Even though seasons of singleness can be discouraging, don’t let this time of your life […]
Christmas Day is over, but that holiday cheer may have been replaced with stress about the upcoming year and what it holds. Liturgically, we’re thinking of the Holy Family and their travels after Christ’s birth. The arrival of the Wise Men on the Epiphany comes soon. Then the Holy Family flees into Egypt to escape […]
Are you struggling with your seasons of singleness? Many of us find ourselves single at various stages of life. Perhaps you’ve recently gone through a divorce. Maybe you know God is calling you to a vocation of marriage, but you haven’t met someone yet to discern that vocation with. Whatever the circumstances surrounding your single […]
The new year is here! Whether or not you decide to take a chance on online dating in the months to come, there are great things on the horizon for you. Forget about that “new year, new you” mentality. There’s no need to reinvent yourself year after year. In 2019, the best challenge you can undertake […]
The feast of the Epiphany might not necessarily stand out as one of the bigger, more significant days when we think of liturgical feasts. Maybe you happen to be one of those super-on-top-of-things Catholics who coordinate their gift-giving with the day that the Wise Men brought their gifts to the Christ Child. But you might […]
Breakups are horrible any time of the year, but calling it quits with someone around the holidays can be especially hard. Whether you met someone via online dating or through mutual friends, ending a relationship is never fun. While families and friends are gathering and celebrating all the highs of the season, going through a […]
Is one really the loneliest number? If you’re single, it sure can feel like it around the holidays. From family gatherings and to holiday parties, you may be surrounded by people from Christmas through New Year’s.
