Mariette Rintoul, Community Experience Director at CatholicMatch, met her husband through CatholicMatch and shared with Aleteia why Relate was launched in 2023.
We currently see a real gap in the available support for Catholic singles out there and we wanted to create a dynamic opportunity for singles to come together; Learn from the experts about all things dating, relationships and marriage; and meet other potential singles. Our entire world has gone virtual and because CatholicMatch has been successfully connecting single faithful men and women online for years, We really wanted to take our experience of creating divine connections to a whole new level by creating a massive online event for singles who need the help of the church to understand dating and love in today’s world and find ways to meet, connect and marry in a calling of love.
