About this Event

Join us for a powerful and thought-provoking evening designed specifically for Catholic singles seeking clarity, purpose, and holiness in their relationships.

In a culture dominated by serial dating and confusion about love, this event will challenge common narratives and offer a deeper, more authentic vision rooted in the Catholic faith.

Lead Speaker: Deacon Dave DiNuzzo

Featuring: Fr. Eric Andersen (Co-presenter) and Deacon James Thurman (MC)

What to Expect:

  • Insightful and engaging talks
