Testimonials from unattached Catholics now in relationships

We have decided to make a commitment to each other having initially corresponded through Catholic Singles, and would be grateful if you could remove our names from the lists, although we would still like to receive the monthly bulletins. We hope to get engaged in the New Year and please remember us in your prayers.
Thanks very much for running your excellent service. So far I have received two replies. The first lady was not interested but now I'm replying to the second. I hope to write to more people and make some new friends. Once again, thanks a lot.

Earlier last year ... and myself joined Catholic Singles. We initially corresponded by letter and agreed to meet on April 5th.,2003. Since then we have developed a meaningful relationship. We would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to meet through Catholic Singles. Obviously we will not be renewing our membership for the New Year but wanted the opportunity to let you know that you have made two people very happy and we will always be grateful.

Thank you for your letter updating me on Catholic Singles. Through Catholic Singles I met ... and we are married, so I am very grateful to you and your organisation. (June, 2004.)

... married me in July 2004 - we met via your organisation! Thank you and your organisation for bringing us together.

I am writing to inform you that I will cease my membership since I have met a lovely man through Catholic Singles. (Jan., 2005)

Thank you for the last Bulletin. I will not renew my membership as the last year was successful and I have found my "other half". I am very grateful as everybody is when we can find and meet friends and future husbands/wives via your Agency. The idea of Catholic Singles is really great. We do not have to apply to Christian Agencies and then choose people with our principles and the same denominations. We all are here. I met ........ who also belonged to your Agency in April last year and from then on we kept in touch. I moved down to ................ and work here. We strengthened our relationship and are both devout Catholics which helps us both in a proper approach to our faith and relationship. We booked our wedding on 13th August this year. (2005)

... Clarence and Tom have been married on Saturday 7 May at 11am at St Joseph's Catholic Church Wembley. It was a memorable day we will never forget, as Jesus brought us together.

Thank you Catholic Singles for helping us with this. (2005)

I would be grateful if you could take my name out from the mailing list. I have met a lady from your organisation and we will marry in September 2006. I hope to send you an invite to this special occasion in due course. My heartfelt thanks. ( Oct.2005)

It was about this time three years ago that I noticed a poster advertising your website, as I left church one evening.

I wrote away for further details and within a few weeks, I had joined Catholic Singles. At the time I was living in Coventry and I wrote to a lady from Stoke-on-Trent. After receiving a promising reply, we spoke over the phone and arranged a first date on Saturday 5 April 2003.

The first date was a real success. We both felt a mixture of nerves and excitement. I didn't know it at the time but it was the first time I set eyes on my future wife! Following on from our first date, we met up every weekend throughout that summer. By September 2004, ... made me the happiest man alive when she agreed to marry me.

The big day arrived in August 2005 and we are expecting our first child in June 2006. We are living in Stone, Staffordshire.

We are writing to inform you that we would like you to sign us out of Catholic Singles. We are very grateful for giving us the opportunity to meet via Catholic Singles. We would like you to know that you made two people very happy. We will send you soon a letter by post and some photos from our trips and dates. Thank you very much for your organisation which brought us together. (Jan.2007).

I would just like to let you know that I have now met someone through Catholic Singles and will be getting married in the summer of this year. May I thank you for your service and will be grateful if you could remove me from the lists of male members. (Jan.2007).

Please remove my name from your file. Thank you for all the contact sheets you've sent me. Catholic Singles is a much better organisation than the Catholic Unattached Directory. With best wishes and God bless you and your work. (Feb.2007)

Thank you for your kindness and great service with all your hard work in the Catholic Singles club .I am very pleased to inform you I have met a gentleman and we are both head over heels in love. I would be grateful if you could remove me from your list. We both feel it is God’s will that we are together and although we have only known each other 8 weeks we are planning our future together. Thank you for your kindness and help and keep up the good work

Love from Helen (April 2007).

Many thanks for the donation. We give out sandwiches at the Cathedral every evening and I have put this kind donation towards this. I hope that you approve. Good luck with the organisation. (Jan.2008)

I know I called you this morning to cancel my membership of Catholic Singles, but I just wanted to email you to thank you for running a wonderful service. I've always wanted to meet a girl with a Catholic upbringing who is honest, caring, and has good family values. We can always dream, but yes... I've met that person. (Jason & Olive Jan. 2008).

Please thank the Catholic Singles Group on our behalf for the cheque for £10 dated 6th February and which is now about to be paid into our Peru Account. I know when the cash reaches the Sisters out there, it will have 3 times the value. We have a young Nurse who has gone out voluntarily until August. This too is another sign of the goodness of people.

We thank you sincerely for the donation and can only promise prayer in return. May God bless each and all who help us.

With best wishes and love

Thanks for the offer of membership renewal. I have been a member for about a year now, and in that time met a few nice people. The best thing is that I met a lovely girl who I am very close to, and we have been together for 6 months now, including a visit to her family overseas. I don't think I could have met her, or anyone else, without CS, so would like to thank you personally for taking the trouble to run this organisation. Because it looks like we will be together for the foreseeable future, I won't be re-joining CS, but wish you and everyone on it all the best. (Oct.2008).

I am delighted to say that I have met a lovely lady through Catholic Singles. Hence, I would be grateful if you could remove my name and profile from future listings. (Nov.2008).
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that I have had a wonderful time as a member of 'Catholic Singles'. It is a fantastic idea and I wish you every continued success with it!! I have now found someone with whom I believe I can be truly happy and at this time I would like to cancel my membership and have my details removed from your database. Thank you for your customer and wonderful service.(Dec.31st.2008).
I hope you are keeping well and enjoying the sunshine. I just thought that I would let you know that I have now met someone through Catholic Singles. We have recently got engaged and plan to marry this year in September. I think it may be best if you delete my entry from the list now as it may look that I am still open to receiving communication from other members. I would just like to say that my experience with Catholic Singles has changed my life considerably. I have made valuable female friendships through the organisation as well as finding someone special to spend the rest of my life with. Many thanks. You are doing a fabulous job and service to catholic singles. (June 2009).

After going through a very difficult time at the end of last year and the start of this I would like to say that joining Catholic singles was the best thing I ever did. I have met a beautiful, kind, caring and understanding girl who I am already extremely fond of and only see good things happening in the future for both of us (July 2009).

I am very happy to announce that I have found my perfect partner through your help at Catholic Singles. My name is Michelle and I would be very grateful if you could please remove me from your files. Thanks again for all your help. I would definitely recommend your service (July 2009).
I am writing to thank you as I have met the love of my life through you. I met ... on the Aug.14th. and we fell in love and are so happy together. I only contacted him as I have learnt Italian for 3 years and was very surprised at the result. You have made us both very very happy. (Oct.2009).
Just to let you know that I have met up successfully with a very nice man through Catholic Singles. He is the first person I have met through your organisation and by a huge coincidence we both go to the same church in East Anglia and also the same Sunday Mass. Although I have been attending for 3 years since I moved to the area from the South-East, we had never noticed or spoken to each other. I joined Catholic Singles after seeing an advert in the parish newsletter and ... joined a year ago after seeing a poster in Church. Although it is early days, we have agreed that we like each other enough not to pursue seeing other people and to concentrate solely on our own friendship. (Aug.2010).
