you’re on the list!

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!

If you’re single and longing for a Christ-centered relationship, this is for you!

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 Catholic young adults. 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 officially live in the U.S.! Anyone can join right now!

We’re unlocking each diocese based on local momentum—when enough Catholic singles from your area join the app, local filtering unlocks so you can easily connect with people nearby. So make sure to download, sign up, and start using SacredSpark already— and tell others to join!

Check out the momentum tracker to see your diocese’s progress. Spread the word, tell your friends to join, and help your diocese unlock even faster!

P.S. You can connect with Catholic singles beyond your diocese on SacredSpark right now… (it’d be a little strange if you couldn’t, right? 😉).

Just head to our 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!

No problem! You can still instantly join and start meeting other amazing Catholic singles right away!

If your diocese IS already unlocked, you'll be able to access local filtering features.

Absolutely! Think of SacredSpark as one big party where you can connect with anyone, regardless of diocese or location.

(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 progress tracker (yep, it's scrollable and easy to explore on desktop 😉).

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.
