Single? Catholic? Want to meet new single people?

Melbourne Single Catholics frequent funky bars, go sailing on Albert Park Lake, drink lattes on St KIlda Pier, have a beer at the Belgian Beer Garden, see arthouse movies at The Rivoli, check out art exhibitions, stroll along the Yarra............

Melbourne Single Catholics also hosts talks on various topics which may be of interest to catholics such as: anullments, bioethics ( e.g. abortion, euthanasia), sexuality, politics, social justice etc. DO NOT JOIN IF YOU ARE GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TALKS. IF YOU DO  NOT WANT TO ATTEND THE TALKS NOONE IS FORCING YOU TO ATTEND!!!

Speakers will be orthodox Catholics. However, you do not have to accept every teaching of the Catholic Church to be part of the group.

Membership is open to non-Catholics. We are delighted have a few 'honorary' catholics in our ranks, as long as they can tolerate being surrounded by Catholics and don't get distressed by our lecture topics/content.

We have a diverse range of members including: a geophysicist, an architect, a journalist, an actuary, IT professionals, an electrician, a child care worker, psychologists, university lecturers, engineers, a social worker, a librarian, an osteopath, scientists,  a chartered accountant, an occupational therapist, nurses, lawyers, a marketing executive, teachers, etc

If you want to meet people who share your values and engage in some fun activities contact us.

There is no charge to join. However, you must pay your costs associated with any activity you attend. FROM 1st JANUARY 2010 , THOSE ATTENDING EVENTS MUST GIVE A $2 DONATION TOWARDS THE RUNNING COSTS OF MSC ( ADVERTISING, WEBSITE COSTS), FOR EACH EVENT THEY ATTEND.

Please note this is a MEETUP group not an internet dating site.Please do not join if you have no intention of attending the events.

 Inactive  profiles will be deleted from the membership.

Melbourne Single Catholics 35-55 now supports  Sustainable Cambodia Australia http://www.sustainablecambodia.org/australia/   

The proceeds from our next speed dating event will be directed to Sustainable Cambodia Australia.

I encourage everyone to go to the Sustainable Cambodia website and consider making a donation. These people are in desperate need of clean water, food and access to education.

So let's change the world whilst we have some fun! :)

 There is a designated host at each event.

YOU ARE WELCOME TO BRING A FRIEND WITH YOU TO EVENTS , JUST RSVP THAT YOU ARE BRINGING SOMEONE WITH YOU.

PLEASE HAVE THE COURTESY TO HONOUR YOUR RSVP. IF YOU RSVP YOU ARE GOING TO ATTEND YOU ARE EXPECTED TO DO SO.

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT ATTENDING PLEASE ALTER YOUR RSVP TO NO. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THOSE WHO DO THE ATTEND THE EVENTS WILL BE DISAPPOINTED IF THE NUMBERS DO NOT MEET EXPECTATIONS. FURTHERMORE, IF YOU DO NOT HONOUR YOUR RSVP, IF TABLES ARE RESERVED AT VENUES, IT IS UNFAIR TO THE PROPRIETORS AS THEY TURN AWAY OTHER POTENTIAL PATRONS.
