Abstract

The article presents Catholic’s date websites, whose main aim is to reduce loneliness of the single people. In the XXI century, which is called „the period of the single”, more and more people have difficulties with finding a life partner. The result of unsuccessful searches of boyfriend or girlfriend is increased loneliness. The opportunity to overbear isolation can be found in religious activities such as Catholic perception of love, marriage or family, which are recently more and more popular. The main aim of such acts is to initiate relationships with people who has the same Catholics values. Each meeting has a religious meaning, for example people participate together in a mass, rosary prayer or gather together to read the Bible. Some of catholic date websites offer also holiday trips in the mountains, kayaking, bike tours, pilgrimage or going to the movies. Aforementioned phenomenon will be addressed with a desk-research method used to explore Catholics date websites.
