A lot of single Catholics in India feel stuck because they’re open to meeting the right person, but have no idea where to start. There aren’t always easy avenues to meet like-minded Catholic Disciples.
But sometimes we just have to be a little proactive in making good use of the opportunities available to us. Here are a few suggestions to start ‘getting out there’.

- Start or join an interest-based group on Facebook or Instagram- Catholic creators or writers, Catholic musicians, Catholic trivia groups, Catholic podcasters, Catholic artists. Connect with the people who join. Offer a free workshop or training to share your expertise with others, or invite a speaker who can do that.

- Find out if your parish or diocese is organizing any singles mixers or activities for single Catholics. If they aren’t, offer to organize one. It could be as simple as a trek or picnic.
