I was a skeptic too

Truly a dating app like no other! I had long sworn off dating apps a thousand times and could tell you every type of horror story. I didn’t want to do long distance after trying that previously and my diocese wasn’t unlocked, but I decided to download it anyway. Even without the diocese unlocked or the ability to state I was not interested in LD, I found more than one local guy to chat with and was introduced to the loml.
4.5 months in and I couldn’t picture it any other way! As he and I often like to say to each other, thanks Emily and Daniel 😂

SacredSpark/CatholicMatch Success Story

Me (Anya): Is it a sacred spark success if we matched on catholic match first, deleted all of our accounts and then found out through email notifications that we matched on sacred spark too cause we forgot to deactivate our accounts? We've been dating for 9 months now!
Emily Wilson: Sure is!!!

So here we are...Tyler and I originally matched on catholic match (about 4 years ago, July of 2022? and then after already meeting/dating for a little while (even longer story involving several mutual friends, including a DEACON, someone realized we both still had active profiles that we THOUGHT we had deactivated but we only deleted them! So this is love, in 2026!

I have to be harsh

I have to be harsh because this app has potential, the fundamentals are really good but there are pretty bad flaws. First of all, very few people, I understand marketing is costly, but every parish young adult ministry and college ministry should be talking about it and mentioning it. More Catholic content creators and pages on social media should be promoting it. Another big issue, is that the free version allows you to see likes if you click on the profile, and the issue is that once the person opens it, they can just back out and not make a decision. I feel like if you open a like, you should be forced to match or decline, if thats not an option then viewing your likes should not be allowed. Another big issue is the cost, a bit too steep, should be lowered just a tad bit. Another big issue is ghosting, I am not sure what the gender ratio is, I am a guy, but I am astonished at how little affective responsibility there is in a Catholic app where charity should be at the forefront, perhaps a scoring system or penalties should be implemented for ghosting. Finally, way too many lukewarm people that don’t accept church teachings.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for this review because it’s clear you see the potential in what we’re building. We’re a small team, and we’re working hard to grow SacredSpark both organically and through partnerships with parishes, Catholic organizations, and creators. We’re now in a position to accelerate that growth, too, so we’re excited about where things are headed. A lot of what you mentioned is already something we’re actively working on. We’ve implemented a change where, once you reach a certain number of likes, you have to take action on them- either accept or decline-before continuing. We want to encourage people to actually engage rather than leave others hanging. We’re also taking ghosting seriously. We have Dating101 and other formation resources built into the app to encourage better dating habits, and we’re exploring additional ways to encourage accountability and charity in how people interact. And when it comes to being authentically Catholic, we address the importance of adhering to Church teaching right from onboarding. As for the size of the community and pricing, those are areas we’re continuing to work on as we grow. Building a healthy Catholic dating community takes time and a lot of resources, but we’re committed to doing it the right way. Thanks again for taking the time to give thoughtful, constructive feedback. Reviews like this genuinely help us make SacredSpark better.

Picking up momentum

I’ll admit—when this app first came out, I was disappointed. The marketing campaign before it launched was extremely good, so my expectations were high. Initially, there were some suspect product decisions, such as not being able to see any pics of the person until matching. But SacredSpark listened to feedback and iterated extremely quickly! Now this is my favorite dating app. I like how the app is set up, and I am seeing really great Catholic men on this app, some of whom I’ve gone on dates with! My success rate on this app is much higher than on others! I haven’t met the one yet, but SacredSpark gives me hope that he’s really out there and that I might just meet him on this app!

Very amazing!

I cannot say enough good things about this app! Yes, you are limited on the amount of likes each day but I think it’s appropriate for this type of dating app. I truly feel that I am able to meet new Catholics and possible pursue getting to know someone without fearing they aren’t interested. Emily and her husband have done an amazing job creating this app! I highly recommend for any young single Catholic! Whether you are looking for a relationship, or meeting new young Catholics fired up on their faith!
