Frequently Asked Questions

Famous novelist and playwright Goethe cleverly and wisely reminded us that "God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them." Placing trust in God and exercising personal initiative are not in contradiction, because God counts on our commitment and participation to help fulfil His will in our lives. Also recall that at the Wedding feast in Canaan, the place of the first miracle of our Lord, the servants had to fill the jars, for the water to be turned to wine. Well then, all miracles including that of finding a catholic spouse, requires our effort and cooperation with God's plan. A catholic dating website, where each person commits sincerely, is one of many ways to get to know someone, and to ultimately honor God through marriage and family.

There are several reasons for the focus on Catholic singles only. We believe that Marriage is a path to holiness for both spouses, their children, families and by extension, the larger society. We recognise that a man and a woman who decide to marry each other, already face the struggle of possible differences in culture, upbringing, personalities and income; their view of the world and others, is shaped by their belief system. Therefore, a successful marriage, where both spouses find God in each other and in their larger families and communities, and prepare for eternal life with God, using the difficulties of ordinary life, need the shared belief and conviction of universal truths, entrusted to the Catholic Church by God. Marriage benefits from the grace of being one of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church and from the grace of baptism received by both spouses.  

That said, we recognise that God uses every opportunity to bring forth eternal fruits from his mercy; fruits which our world needs so much and so we wish God's blessings on mixed-denominational marriages and their families. 

We accept and take the Church's teaching on marriage and family very seriously. We believe that marriage is where human love, with its limitations and fragility, meets the unwavering and merciful divine love, as said to us by Pope Francis. We want therefore to help single catholic men and women, who with help of grace, understand that they do not lose their identity by choosing to commit 100% to a member of the opposite sex, within the sacrament of marriage, along with the blessings of true love and new human life that can result.

Yes, because the Internet has become an essential part of our lives. As a medium, it is neutral - it can be used for good or bad. Just as you may go to a party to find someone, you can also meet someone on the Internet. Of course, there is a lot of dubious and even negative information about relationships on the Internet. And some use the anonymity of the Internet for dishonest reasons. Through our conditions of membership, the participation fee, and the constant support of the CCSN Team, we guarantee the high standards of our platform for those who are serious partner-seekers. 

When you become a member, you will choose a unique username. You only appear under this identifier within the member area. If someone is writing to you, or you want to write to someone, just use your internal mailbox. This means that no one can reach you outside of Catholic Connect Singles, nor can they ascertain your identity or your private email address (unless you give it to them). However, you must provide the CCSN Team with your personal contact details for security reasons, but these are not shared with others on the platform. Whether and when you exchange personal data with a Catholic Connect Singles contact is entirely up to you.

Catholic Connect Singles is financed through a small membership fee. This covers the costs of developing and maintaining the technology, as well as expenses associated with building the community, such as advertising. The obligation to pay also fosters a level of seriousness among the members, with a certain protection against superficial flirting.
