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.
