How do I sign up for this service?
Start here, read through all the info, and then fill in the google form and email your photo to catholicdisciplesmatchmaking@gmail.com. After your form has been checked, your profile will be created and you will receive payment details via email within 1-2 weeks. Once you make the payment, your login details and website guidelines will be emailed to you.
Are we allowed to use AI to create our profiles?
Use of AI to create or write profiles is highly discouraged. Though it seems easier and more fluent, it defeats the point of a profile, which is to reveal a part of yourself to a potential spouse. The way we express ourselves, our choice of words and phrases, even our typos and grammatical mistakes give a much more real picture of who we are than any polished AI creation. Also AI writing is quite easy to spot, and gives a negative impression.
Is any application rejected?
If after checking the form and communicating with the applicant, he or she does not meet the criteria of CDMS, we retain the right to reject an application. For example, if any applicant rejects any teaching of the Catholic Church, they are advised to find a different matrimonial service.
What is the cost of membership?
It is Rs 700 for a one year subscription. You can renew your subscription one year after joining.
What is your refund policy?
If you decide to discontinue membership before your profile is uploaded, your payment will be refunded. Once the profile is uploaded, there will be no refund.
Can I apply on behalf of my son/daughter/brother/sister/relative?
No, we only communicate with the actual applicant. You can pass on this info to them, and they can apply if they are interested.
Can I join the online events without being a member?
Yes, the online events are open to any Catholic disciples who follow all the teachings of the Church, are open to getting married in the next year or two, and are open to matches from different communities than themselves. (If you’re a Goan only looking for a Goan, this is not the best avenue for you. )
How do I find out about upcoming events?
Upcoming events are posted on our Instagram page.
If I’m a registered CDMS members, who can view my profile on the website?
Only other registered members can view profiles.
How do I contact someone I’m interested in?
From August 2025, you can send a direct message via email which will be displayed on each profile.
I don’t see any profiles in my age group/ location. Can you help?
This is a relatively new matchmaking service, and a very different type from other matrimonial sites. That means it is still relatively unknown. We are primarily looking for disciples, people who take their faith seriously. So it is not surprising that there are not as many profiles as we would like. One way to solve this problem is for YOU to get involved – publicise this service among your Catholic disciples’ circles, prayer groups, communities and invite eligible people to join personally. CDMS is providing a platform, but cannot create profiles from thin air.
I’m not interested in the profiles you’ve uploaded. Can you please send me some new profiles?
We won’t be sending anyone profiles directly anymore. You can keep checking the website for new profiles. But be open to the options already available, to have at least one conversation before deciding someone is not right for you. Let God surprise you!
I sent a message to someone via email. Why haven’t I heard back from them?
We expect everyone to send back some sort of message even if they’re not interested. They may have missed the email or it may have gone into their junk folder, so you can contact me and I will check with them.
Someone messaged me, but I don’t think I’m interested. What should I do?
You don’t have to decide if you want to marry someone based on just a profile. If you see even the slightest hint of potential, go ahead and have at least one conversation with them. A conversation tells you far more about a person than a profile, an email or a text. Video calls are a great idea if you live in different cities. But if you are absolutely sure there is zero potential, you can reply to them saying so politely.
I talked to someone on your site but I don’t think I want to take it further. What now?
Just let them know nicely.
I’m currently talking to someone so I want to put my profile on hold. How do I go about it?
Just let us know and we will temporarily take your profile down until you let us know you want it back up.
I found my match… but not through your service. How do I leave?
Congratulations! Just let us know so we can take your profile down.
DISCLAIMER: CDMS is not responsible for verifying the authenticity of each profile. You are expected to stay alert, use your common sense, and take time to get to know someone. The phone number of a priest that the member has used as a reference can be provided if you request it.
