This event is hosted by Charleston Catholic Adventurers — a community of like-minded Catholics who seek to:
✨ Grow in holiness and virtue alongside faithful friends
💬 Build an authentic Catholic community through shared experiences
💑 Be open to meeting someone with the potential for intentional dating and marriage
🤝 Form deep friendships that may lead to future introductions — or even vocations!
Whether you’re new to Charleston, rediscovering your faith, or love fresh air and meaningful company, this group is for you.

***

### 🥾 Walking Options:

The Charleston Catholic Adventurers Meetup is scheduled for a full round-trip walk across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, which is approximately 5 miles total and takes about 1.5 to 2 hours at a moderate pace.
If you prefer a shorter route, you're welcome to walk to the midway point of the bridge (approximately 1.5 miles out, 3 miles round-trip), then return to the starting point and head to Saltwater Cowboys to join the group for the post-walk social.
Walk at a pace and distance that suits you — everyone is welcome!

### 🕊️ Bring Your Rosary

Shortly after we begin walking, we’ll pause together to pray the Rosary as a group, lifting up intentions for:

• Our future vocations and those already committed to religious, married, or single life
• The renewal of marriage and family life
• The protection and flourishing of the culture of life
• Each other’s intentions and the needs of our Church and city

Please bring your Rosary if you’re able — all are welcome to join in prayer.

### 🍹 Post-Walk Social (Optional)

After the walk, we’ll gather at Saltwater Cowboys — a lively waterfront spot just minutes away — for mocktails, cocktails, or light bites with good company.
📍 Saltwater Cowboys
130 Mill St, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464

### 🕊️ A Note from the Host:

The host of this meetup is carrying a larger mission God has placed on her heart: to gather a select group of faithful single Catholics to walk the Camino de Santiago annually — a pilgrimage of healing, prayer, and intentional discernment.
More details will be shared in future meetups — stay tuned!
