Let's redeem dating.

What are people for? What are power and resources for? Secular culture answers: individualism, efficiency, optimization, utility. The Church, Her teachings, and Her sacraments, answer differently. Our Lord is obsessed with unity (See Gen. 1:1 - Rev. 22:21). We are made for communion. For friendship. For community. For marriage and family. And, finally, for union with God.

Holy Flirtation began as an idea that came to me in prayer, and all the details therein seemed to unfold before me instantaneously, which I could only take as a nudge from the Holy Spirit. As I continued to think about it, it grew into a small response to a bigger problem: relationships are breaking down, young Catholics isolated, and almost no intentional path toward the sacrament of marriage. So Holy flirtation was born. We set a table, good food, good drink, and a relaxed, high-touch speed dating atmosphere.

Prayerful. Entertaining.

And ordered toward something real: Unity.
