Hey, we’re Catholic and we’re proud of it! Sometimes just focusing on being single, dating, and relationships doesn’t cut it – so we made a place for everything that we write about being Catholic and loving it.
Are you a divorced Catholic wondering if there’s something you can offer? Do you question if you bring enough, or if who you are can be seen and valued? One of my favorite Bible stories is when Jesus miraculously feeds the 5,000 with the meager lunch of a little boy. A few small barley loaves […]
As Catholics, we know that Easter is the holiest day of the year and certainly the most celebratory of occasions. Not only is Easter important, but the Catholic Church also gives us an entire fifty days of celebration in the Easter season. It can sometimes be difficult to remember that we’re still called to celebrate […]
Many of us might have a pre-conceived picture of what a Catholic dating relationship should look like. The same can be said for our ideas about Catholic marriage. There’s nothing wrong with having dreams, hopes, and aspirations. But when it comes to our search for a partner, some of these pre-conceived pictures can interfere and […]
Catholics around the world celebrate the life of Saint Agatha on February 5. She’s not one of the most well-known saints. However, she is actually one of just seven female saints mentioned in the Canon of the Mass (in the longest version of the Eucharistic prayer). St. Agatha was an early Christian martyr. Even though she […]
Pope Francis has declared this year to be the year of Saint Joseph, patron of workers, husband of Mary, foster father of Jesus. Joseph often gets overlooked because of his more famous family members. Also, not a word of his is recorded in Scripture! He is the definition of the strong, silent type. But he’s […]

Granted, it appears that the song was secular in origin and then assigned […]
Christmas Day is over, and even though the season of Christmas stretches on for some time, many of us might be more focused on winding down from the holiday than on the other celebrations that follow. But the Catholic Church actually gives us quite a few great feast days directly following Christmas Day, not the […]
Many of us know intellectually that suffering can be an instrument to help us grow in holiness and advance in our spiritual lives. But it’s not always easy to feel this to be true when we’re in the midst of our sufferings. This is especially true our suffering is caused by more abstract problems like […]
Almost five years ago, I was building a new life for myself after a divorce as I waited on my annulment case. I was in my counselor’s office crying over some recent difficult days. In hard seasons of life, it’s easy to only see the things that aren’t going as planned. Maybe you relate to this […]
These days, our modern society is attacking truth in many ways. Even when we look at the Church today, we might find that the truth is sometimes diluted by others. Not surprisingly, these attacks on truth often lead to great conflicts in both the Church and in wider society. For single Catholics seeking connection and […]
