There's no catechism for a meet-cute.

Stop leaving discernment to the algorithm. Holy Flirtation is a speed dating event for Catholics ready to find someone. No apps. No swipes. Just you, a room full of eligible Catholics, and the Lord doing what He does.

Why go

Coffee and donuts only go so far.

Listen, it's rough out there. That's why we created Holy Flirtation: a speed dating event where Catholics of all stripes and liturgical styles can meet, chat, and drop quotes from their favorite papal encyclicals without getting the 1000-yard stare.

Courtship isn't rocket science. So if you're done with the dating apps and tired of the games, join us to find that Someone who shares your faith, your values, and perhaps your love of that one cheesy Gather hymn.

Get out there, have some fun, and flirt virtuously.

Birds of a feather
are flocking.

How it works

Four parts. No awkward icebreakers.

Over the course of a few hours, enjoy catered food and beverage, happy hour with the community, and then meet up to 12 dates, six minutes each. Pro tip: "what parish do you go to?" is not an opener. It's a stall.

Flirtation Nation

Join the Flirtation Nation.

We're on a mission to replace the digital dating hellscape with something better: high-quality, in-person Catholic speed dating that actually works. Judging by the crowds — including attendees driving in from out of state — we're not the only ones who think it's time.

If your diocese is ready to end its young adult singleness epidemic, we want to help. We'll give you everything you need to run your own Holy Flirtation event: the format, the materials, and the very good excuse to get your young adults in the same room.

Shoot us a line. We'll get you set up.
