Pittsburgh, PA, June 2, 2005 -- CatholicMatch.com, the largest online community for Catholic singles, is proud to partner with the 2005 Franciscan University Young Adults Conference. Held Friday, June 3rd through Sunday, June 5th, it is the largest national gathering of Catholic young adults in the country, with a track record of success since 1976.

“We are very excited about the chance to promote the Franciscan University Young Adults Conference to our members, and in addition, it is a great opportunity for us to have a presence there,” said Brian Barcaro, CatholicMatch.com co-founder. “We believe that such collaboration is key in helping to reach out to singles and young adults in the Catholic Church. They are seeking out an alternative to the mainstream culture. Just as Franciscan University offers conferences to unite people of faith, CatholicMatch.com creates that opportunity online. By working together we help to build the future of the Catholic Church.”

This year’s conference is based on I Corinthians 10:31, “Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God,” and will focus on living the faith in everyday life.
