About Us

Crossed Keys CIC

Our Mission

We support singles who are ready to meet to pursue the Catholic definition of marriage. We believe courtship should be guided by clarity, virtue, and the teachings of the Church – rather than by secular dating, hookup culture, and endless swiping. Our mission is to create meaningful introductions between Catholics who desire commitment, family life, and holiness.

Why we Started

After witnessing countless Catholics struggle with dating apps (prioritising appearance over virtue, and entertainment over commitment), we knew there had to be a better way. We started Crossed Keys CIC to provide a service which respects the dignity of each person in alignment with sacramental marriage.

Our Approach

Our matchmaking services combine traditional values with modern convenience, creating a safe space where Catholics can meet others who are serious about building intentional, Christ-centred relationships.

Crossed Keys Matchmaking

  1. We curate profile pairs
  2. We send you a restaurant reservation
  3. 50% want to meet again

Others (modern dating apps & social media)

  1. You judge a photo and swipe
  2. You judge a short bio
  3. You pay to have a brief text chat
  4. You organise a date
  5. Only 5% want to meet again
  6. Shareholders get rich on your prolonged pain
