FAQ

  • SacredSpark is a revolutionary Catholic dating and matchmaking platform co-founded by internationally recognized Catholic dating powerhouse Emily Wilson, that not only eliminates the typical superficial (online) dating experience, but takes matchmaking to a whole new level!

    From the first “hi!” to the first date, we’re reshaping how today’s Catholics begin meaningful connections.

  • Catholic dating is hurting. We’re done pretending it’s not. I think we can all agree that the current state of Catholic dating is in dire need of an overhaul. 

    Simply put: SacredSpark seeks to reignite the beauty and joy of intentional dating by offering a fresh, new approach— blending the powers of matchmaking, community and formation through a Christ-centered perspective. We’re not interested in repackaging what hasn’t worked. We’re here to raise the standard and redefine what modern Catholic dating should be. 

    SacredSpark differences include;

    • Singles can intentionally connect with others - but they don’t have to do it alone. By uniquely blending technology and tradition, SacredSpark enables singles to invite their trusted friends and family — those that know them best — to act as their personal matchmakers so that they can receive handpicked, curated matches, right in their account. 

    • We have found that so many people are tired of feeling objectified, dehumanized to a “profile,” or like they’re stuck in a romantic vending machine. SacredSpark facilitates meaningful online connections beyond just the superficial by focusing on the entire person, not just a headshot.

    • Practical formation on how to date, communicate, discern, and more! With formation as the foundation, the quality of interactions naturally rises, leading to more meaningful and purpose-driven connections, shared accountability, and mutual respect.

    • Too many singles have expressed feeling isolated, stuck, or in real need of support. SacredSpark fosters a community, not just an isolated experience, where singles can connect and thrive rather than simply survive. 

    • We want you to feel safe and confident when connecting with others. We don’t just ask users to verify through email or phone and hope for the best, we utilize in-app video verification to ensure that singles are who they say they are.

    The roots are different, and so the fruit will be, too

  • SacredSpark is designed for singles who are serious about finding a Christ-centered relationship. It’s for those who feel discouraged and disillusioned by the modern dating landscape, or who are just entering (or re-entering) the dating world with a conviction to keep their dignity and faith intact.

    SacredSpark is for those that are not looking for a quick fix or a shallow swipe—you’re open, not desperate; active, not urgent; intentional, not pressured. You value faith, transparency, and connection—and are seeking a dating experience that reflects the fullness of what it means to be authentically human: to be faithfully Catholic.

  • SacredSpark is aiming to launch at the end of September, and we’re doing things differently. Instead of opening everywhere at once, we’re unlocking diocese by diocese, based on local momentum. When enough Catholic singles from your area join the waitlist, your diocese unlocks at launch, giving you instant access to the full experience right from the start.

    Check out the live progress tracker to see your diocese’s momentum in real time and see how it all works.

    Be sure to join the waitlist to get updates and rally the troops to get your diocese unlocked at launch!

  • Just head to our live diocese progress tracker. It’s updated daily and shows how close your diocese is to unlocking. You can scroll or page through the full list on a desktop!

  • Don’t worry—we won’t leave you hanging. But if you want the full experience from day one, rally your people to join the waitlist and let’s get you unlocked from the beginning!

  • Absolutely! You’ll be able to connect with Catholic singles beyond your diocese from day one. (It’d be a little strange if you couldn’t, right? 😉)

  • We're launching in the US first but plan to rapidly expand internationally soon after! Make sure to join the waitlist and spread the word in your community so we know where to launch internationally first!

    Even if you're outside the U.S., your diocese still appears on our live progress tracker (yep, it's scrollable and easy to explore on desktop 😉).

  • Sign up for the waitlist, and we’ll reach out with opportunities to help test and shape SacredSpark before it officially launches.

  • Beta testers will receive early access, an exclusive chance to shape the experience, and the opportunity to provide feedback that helps build the future of Catholic dating.

  • YES! You can join and use SacredSpark for free — including connecting and messaging. For those who want an enhanced experience, optional premium features are available too.

  • Simply join the waitlist, and we’ll notify you as soon as sign-ups open!
