The event includes a catered dinner with wine, 12 six-minute speed dates and time for mingling.

Toward the end of the event, participants will receive a survey to note which people they would like to get to know better. Mutual matches will be shared by e-mail the following day.

Immediately after the event, all are invited to worship at the 5:30 p.m. vigil Mass at St. Joan of Arc Church.

April 18 marks the third “Holy Flirtation” event, created and operated by St. Joan of Arc parishioner Josh Matthews. The previous events involved 200 participants, with an even balance of men and women.

There is no age limit to register. While the majority of attendees were 22-32 years old, participants have ranged from 20-55 in age.

The cost is $35 plus $1.92 online processing fee.
