Description
Create a better, healthier Catholic dating culture—and do it together in a fun, informative, supportive small group! Catholic Dating Basics is a seven-week small group program designed for Catholic campus ministries and young adult groups.
The discussion guide has an excellent intro to the common problems with the current dating scene, especially in Catholic circles. It then helps groups dive into important topics and share their personal experiences. Plus there’s a “weekly challenge” to take small, manageable steps forward in your dating life. At the end of the program, both men and women will have a clear roadmap on how to start and sustain a happy, holy relationship.

An Offline Experience
Catholic Dating Basics happens in the real world, without phones or apps. Participants gather in person to learn about dating, discuss real issues, and build healthy relationships. For the final meeting, the men’s and women’s groups come back together for a social event, such as a dance, party, or speed dating session.
