How do I sign up for this service?
Click on this link, 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.
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. )
What is the cost of the online events?
For non-members, the cost is ₹250. For CDMS members, the cost is ₹100. If you have financial constraints but would still like to join, let us know.
How do I find out about upcoming events?
Please email us on catholicdisciplesmatchmaking@gmail.com with your whatsapp number, and we’ll keep you informed.
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?
You can send a private message through the CDMS team. That means you email catholicdisciplesmatchmaking@gmail.com with the link to the profile you’re interested in, and your message: ‘Hi Priya from Bangalore, I went through your profile and thought we seem to have a lot in common – I also love to write about my faith. I’d like the chance to get to know you better. Take a look at my profile, and if you’d like to get in touch, email me on samuelforjesus @gmail.com. Regards, Sammy, 32, Pune.’ Write your own message, don’t just copy this one!) Your message will be forwarded to them with a link to your profile, and they will get in touch with you directly if they are interested in communicating.
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 through you. Why haven’t I heard back from them?
You should probably assume they’re not interested, and message someone else. Ideally everyone should send back some sort of message, but we can’t guarantee that. When YOU receive a message, be courteous enough to respond, even if you’re not interested.
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.
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, and keep us informed.
I’m currently talking to someone so I want to put my profile on hold. How do I go about it?
Just send us an email 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 shoot us an email letting me 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.
