For Catholic singles
Catholic Dating: Find Someone to Share Mass With
Say what Sunday Mass, the sacraments and a Catholic marriage mean to you, and look for someone who feels the same.
Catholic singles are welcome here
Yes, Catholic singles are welcome on Christian Love, and you can look for a Catholic partner here. It's a Christian dating site for every tradition. Put your Catholic faith on your profile, say if you're hoping for a Catholic partner, and your daily matches take your beliefs into account.
That gives you a choice. If sharing the Mass with your future husband or wife is essential, say so plainly and look for members who say the same. If you're open to someone from another church who loves God as you do, you can say that too.
Catholic singles in the USA, the UK and Australia
In the UK, Catholic faith runs deep. In Northern Ireland, 42% of people described themselves as Catholic in the 2021 Census, and in Belfast it was 43%. In Scotland's Census 2022, 13.3% of people were Roman Catholic, rising to 20.7% in Glasgow. In London, Westminster Cathedral is the largest Catholic church in England and Wales.
So whether your parish is a city-centre cathedral or a small church on the edge of town, you can look for someone who knows the rhythm of your year, from Ash Wednesday to Easter and Advent. To see where members live, read about Christian dating in the USA and in Australia, or see Glasgow, Belfast and every UK city with its own page.
How to find a Catholic partner here
- Name your faith as Catholic on your profile, so it's the first thing people learn about you.
- Say how you live it: weekly Mass, confession, the rosary, a parish group, or volunteering with your church.
- Be clear about marriage. If you hope to marry in the Church and raise children in the faith, say so.
- Say if you want a Catholic partner, or if you're open to a Christian from another tradition.
- Ask about faith early in conversation. It saves heartache later and often leads to the richest conversations.
Love across the Catholic and Protestant divide
Plenty of happy couples are a Catholic and a Protestant. Plenty of Christians also feel strongly that they should marry within their own church. Both views are held in good faith, and it helps to understand them.
For Catholics, marriage is a sacrament, and the Church asks a Catholic who marries a baptised Christian from another church to seek permission first. Your parish priest can talk you both through what that involves, including questions about where you'll worship and how you'll raise children.
Some Protestants worry about differences over the Mass, Mary and the saints, and point to Paul's warning against being "unequally yoked" (2 Corinthians 6:14). Others read that verse as being about marrying someone who doesn't share the faith at all, rather than a Christian from another church. Christians disagree here. Pray about it, talk honestly with each other, and speak to your own priest or minister. Our guide to the rules of Christian dating covers more of the questions couples ask.
