I got the impression OP is female and wants to find a Catholic man.

This is OP, and yes, I am a woman. And for everyone saying church, I attend church weekly and am involved in my home parish. Believe me when I say there is no one there. I'm looking for a group that is actually for middle-aged people (not 40+ groups that skew much, much older) or a parish that offers this as a ministry.

St. Matthews downtown has social gatherings for professionals. It may skew younger, but you never know.

Attend events at the Catholic Business Network -- there are DC and MoCo branches.

I think my Catholic friends met their spouses in running clubs or on Match.com

DP. Also a Catholic woman seeking a catholic man...just wanted to say thanks for posting this

I am not a Catholic or looking for a relationship but I feel most of the men I see volunteering in the community are Catholic; get involved. Meet more women who have single siblings or relatives or friends.

Hard to find these people too.

Is Catholic Match still a thing? If so, definitely try that.

Your usual suburban church will be hard because it attracts families and I feel like single men either don't go to church much or if they do, don't participate much in parish life so you won't find them.

Im a married Catholic male, going to church isn't the answer at least at my parish. I think at 52 I may be the youngest man there most of the time, but i go on Saturdays maybe Sundays are different.
Irish hangouts like someone said earlier might be a good place

Catholic Match - online dating for Catholics, formerly St. Raphael.com "interceding for Catholic singles"

I have a friend who meet her husband on here, he said the Holy Spirit brought them together. Ironically I don't think they are practicing Catholics anymore but

Not sure how old you are - I live in Chicago and they have a new group for people who are not "young adults" but still want to hang with Catholics - https://www.chicagocatholiccommunityconnections.com/

You'd probably find some cultural Catholics if nothing else.

My sister-in-law joined a Catholic singles group. They do exist in some parishes or in a region.

Not OP, but a cultural catholic is my ideal match . I feel catholic match has skewed conservative over the years(people identify their politics) and to a bunch of men who have strong feelings about only going to traditional latin mass. I think I am "too catholic" for the secular world...and not catholic in a way that matches with the men on catholic match. but you can browse for free.
