There’s a speed dating event for single Catholics taking place before the Pope’s visit

Paul Moore

Speed dating Papal visit

Single people, your prayers have been answered.

They say that abstinence absence makes the heart grow fonder and if you’re a Catholic that’s looking for some love – keeping room for Jesus of course – we’ve got just the thing for you.

Love could be (He)brewing because your prayers have been answered.

Yes, it’s time to get down on your knees and praise the Lord because a speed dating event will be taking place from 9pm tonight at The Horse Show House across from the RDS.

It’s time for any single people to finally use those religious pick-up lines.

If you’re looking for inspiration, here are some that we’ve come up with:

  • You float my ark.
  • Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
  • Is this the transfiguration? Because you are glowing.
  • So last night I was reading the book of Numbers, and then I realised, I don’t have yours.
  • Is it hot in here or is that just the Holy Spirit burning inside of you?
  • Your name must be Grace because you are amazing.

The possibilities are endless.

This being said, for anyone that’s in attendance, just be yourself because there’s no dating bible and our advice is far from gospel.

Anna Maria Basquez is the organiser of this event and for any singletons that are interested, the event costs €30. All the relevant information can be found below but, be warned, the event has been quite popular but there might be a few spaces left.

May the Lord be with you in your pursuit to get the shift. Keep it holy, now.
