Catholic youth group Pure in Heart is seeking to give young, single Catholics a place to meet “in a very safe and very friendly environment” with its first-ever conference, according to General Manager Helen Vysotska.
The ‘Pursuit of Love’ conference, to take place October 1-3, 2021, is set to offer both theoretical and practical experience, as it seeks to host talks on love and responsibility, the sacramentality of marriage, dating and chastity advice, and how to know whether he or she is the ‘one’.
However, a suspected highlight will be the speed-dating component, which Ms Vysotska said “is an attempt to get rid of the awkwardness” that often exists between young men and women in Catholic circles.
“Ireland has always been great in the past for brilliant ceilis and dance halls and all the rest of it, where young people could get together and have fun in a very safe and very friendly environment,” Ms Vysotska said.
“This is what we’re trying to create again,” she said.
