CATHOLIC SINGLE ADULTS CLUB OF THE TWIN CITIES
SINGLE, CATHOLIC AND PROFESSIONAL? We're your opportunity to meet people, make new friends, and enjoy good times with others who share your faith, values and interests.
The Catholic Single Adults Club of the Twin Cities (CSAC), formerly known as The Twin Cities' Catholic Alumni Club (CAC), is an affiliate of Catholic Alumni Clubs International (CACI). Each club is an organization of single Catholic professional men and women. CACI is a non-profit organization composed of more than 30 chapters nationwide. Its purpose is to provide a friendly setting for single Catholics to meet and develop friendships with people who share their faith. Although we are not a match-making organization, many marriages have resulted from the wonderful friendships that started through our club.
To enable members to join in fellowship and community by sharing their common faith, values, Christian ideals and educational backgrounds with other single professionals. To provide a forum for members to participate in enriching and rewarding experiences such as religious and charitable activities, social gatherings, cultural programs and sporting events at local, regional and national levels. To maintain and expand our membership so the club continues its vitality as a thriving organization.

Many people who consider joining a club like CSAC ask: "Where do I begin?" You probably don't know anyone. When you come to an event it seems like everyone else knows each other already. It can be very intimidating going to a club function alone. Trust me, we have all been there.
We suggest you come to the event to enjoy yourself. Don't put pressure on yourself by trying to fit in and impress people. Meeting people will come in time, especially if you are enjoying yourself with them. After all, that was also the reason they came to that event-because they expected to enjoy themselves. The worst thing that could happen is you'll have a good time.
This is especially true if you are looking for a date. People often investigate our club for the sole purpose of meeting someone special. If they don't find one in the first couple of events they give up and let their membership lapse. True, many former members have, indeed, met their eventual spouse through the club, and we encourage our members to explore such relationships if they find someone they can form a bond with. But 99% of those relationships started because both people just set out to enjoy the day and let nature take it's course.
If your first event was not what you expected, keep coming to events. Too many people make an unfair assessment of the club after attending one or two functions. Not everyone joins for the same reason. Some like dinner nights, some only come to the annual Christmas Dance, some like prayer meetings or Mass and Brunch. I ask people not to make a judgment until they have attended five different events. For most of us it takes time to get comfortable and make friends.
Also remember that some events are easier to get comfortable than others. For example, game nights are easier to meet people than, say, a dance. It is a good idea, when possible, to bring a friend to events. Maybe at some events he or she can make new friends easier than you, and vice-versa. Then you'll each know someone who knows other people, and you'll all become friends.
