Imagine coming from a large family, being filled with a love for the Catholic Church and desire for a family of your own, yet moving into your late 30s and early 40s having not found that special someone to build a life with. That’s the challenge of faith that Charles and Luz faced when they came to CatholicMatch.
Charles, a 41-year-old from south Florida, was active in the Knights of Columbus, along with participating in both the Novus Ordo and Tridentine Masses. He had six other siblings and just wanted a nice and easygoing spouse that he could settle down with.
Luz, 38, a schoolteacher from Peru, also with six siblings was just as active in the Church, including the Christian Life Movement, founded in her country and personally blessed by Blessed John Paul II.
It was early 2011 that this faith-filled couple found each other on CatholicMatch when Luz sent Charles an emotigram, which soon led to messages. From there it went to chats and finally to webcam. The latter tool would be especially helpful—“Because of the ability to communicate by web cam, Charles and I really bring our hearts closer to each other,” Luz said reflectively.
