“I’ve approached our priest to try to start something, as a volunteer since I’m unemployed right now and would love to help out somehow, and he seemed interested at the time, but now I can’t catch him for a follow-up, he doesn’t answer my calls. (And it’s been weeks.)”
He’s woken up to you… Hee Hee! Come on only joking at the semantic opportunity. Sorry. Won’t happen again.
 
Well, I haven’t been stalking him, but I called a few times, and he never answered and never called me back.
I know where he works. 😃 But he is still on reduced, summer office hours, so I can’t get him there.
Anyway, I’m sorry we don’t have more a more interactive parish, such a huge age group is left out, so that might be part of the reason why people don’t meet at church more.

I have to say as someone discerning my vocation the preliminary poll results concern me. Why is it that marriages are not appearing through the church activities? For one side it is good that probably people is being converted at least partially thanks to marriage. But I would think that for people hoping to marry a Catholic, the parish would be the perfect place. Apparently I am wrong.

church is a lonely place if you are young and single. there are very few activities for people who are young and single.
 
I met my wonderful husband 39 years ago at a frat party dance. My brother was a pledge at his businesss school fraternity. At that time the college had very few women attending so my brother’s job was to get girls to come to the frat dance. He asked me and my friends to attend the dance and he also introduced me to me husband who was a frat brother. Two years later we were married! 😉
 
We were both in college and enjoyed going to the local campus bars. This was during the disco era of the late 70’s, but hadn’t met until we were both eliminated contestants in a disco dancing competition at a local disco. We were both with other dance partners. As the couples on the dance floor competing in the contest were eliminated, we were asked to stand at the back of the dance floor until the whole competition was over. We started talking as we were waiting and he asked for my phone number. Our first date was about a week later, at the State Fair. We both dropped our other dancing partners and started dancing competitively together. We won several contests. A year later, we got married. We celebrate our 34 aniversary in November. We both still like to dance!
 
We met through mutual friends. Knew each other for about 3 years as casual “hey, how’s it going” acquaintances at their parties, then were in their wedding. Somewhere around that time, we started talking when we’d be at their house for things, & formed a friendship. We would talk a couple times a week on the phone, & those conversations were very easy/comfortable. About 8 months after our friends wedding, he asked me out, on a double date with said friends. The rest is history. 🙂
 
Im gonna bump this thread back to life.
Lets keep the stories coming :choocho:

BUUUUUUUUUMP! :bounce:
 
Many, many years ago, I went to his place of business to cash my employment check, and a couple days later he came to my place of employment and talked to my boss about me. He knew my boss very well. We then became friends and later started dating and we were married 8 wonderful years before he died. He became a Catholic the year before he died and that was my greatest consolation.
I met my second husband thru mutual friends and we were married 18 years before he died. He also was a convert thank God. God Bless, Memaw
 
We knew “who each other was” since junior high, when they closed my Catholic elementary and I went to the public school where DH attended. We sat next to each other in Science Fiction class our senior year, and started dating then.

We still like SciFi 🙂
