Do
all members receive full lists, updated monthly? Yes. There are no
separate classes of membership. All members receive monthly updated lists. Those
receiving monthly bulletin updates by email are sent the full lists of members, including those who do not
have internet access. Similarly those receiving the bulletins by post are sent the full lists of male/female
members as appropriate.
Is it confidential?
Yes.
Each member is allocated a unique box number and their full name, postal address and telephone number are not made available
to other members. Nor is their email address unless they specifically request that it be included in their entry. All postal
communications are sent in plain envelopes, with no indication on the outside that they are from Catholic Singles.
How safe is it? All members
are required to post their applications, signing to the effect that they are single, practising Catholics, and then
confirm their postal addresses by acknowledging a welcome letter. This, together with the £10 charitable donation, discourages casual
applicants joining with the click of a mouse. Each member is also sent an Instructions & Advice leaflet advising
on sensible steps to take.
What is the cost and are there any extras to
pay?
The cost of joining is £30 to have an entry
and receive the monthly bulletins by email, for one year. Of this £10 is donated to charity. After the first year, the
renewal cost is just £10 per year. The first bulletin, with the full list, is posted automatically, but for the
12 further bulletins to be posted rather than emailed there is a small annual charge of £9 to cover printing &
postage. Are there members in Ireland, and how much do they pay? Yes, we have members in Ireland, north & south. Many pay in sterling, but for those who would prefer
to pay in Euros please enquire via the contacts on the home page for rates.
Is it open to Separated & Divorced Catholics?
Yes, and many of our members are in
the Association of Separated & Divorced Catholics, founded in Salford in 1981. Contact details of the ASDC are on our
links page, but their website is www.asdcengland.org.uk and as well as meeting others with similar experiences advice may also be available on the annulment
process.
How many members are in London & S.E. England? Approximately one third, i.e. three hundred, of
our members live in London & S.E. England, one third in N.W. England and one third in Scotland, Wales, Ireland and other
regions in England. A small number live in other countries.
