CatholicMatch.com Review

One look at the Catholic Match website and you will see that the site is visually appealing as well as clean and organized.  Catholic Match also allows users to search for Catholic parishes that are closest to their area.  The site takes the guesswork out of finding the perfect match and saves users time by not having to weed through non-Catholic profiles.  The site and profiles are so detailed that they allow users to select which Catholic teachings they except and what values are most important to them.  The personal interview test that users can set up to screen potential matches consists of 20 multiple choice questions. It lets users get a better idea of how their matches stack up to their core values and beliefs.  This is both a unique and refreshing approach in getting to know someone.  Catholic Match has a member base of about 1,000 members and users can expect to obtain at least 100 to 200 local area search results.   Their online magazine features dating advice articles given from a Catholic perspective and faith specific suggestions on how to handle certain situations.  Users should sign up for the 3 month plan as this gives them an extra month for the same price.  Overall, it seems to be a very solid and well established quality niche site.
