CROSSROADS SINGLES

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQofaN0w89c

Crossroads is a Catholic Community of single adults, forty years and older, seeking diversified spiritual and social needs and blessings.  We welcome people of all faiths.  The members of the Crossroads Steering Committee attest to the fact that they respect and uphold the spiritual, moral and ethical teachings of the Catholic Church, including respect for life.

If you are over 40 and single, you have the opportunity to improve your social life with Crossroads Singles.  Crossroads targets the social and spiritual needs of divorced, single or widowed Catholics, although non-Catholics are welcome.  We are not a Catholic dating service - if a hookup happens, it's great, but that's not what our people are looking for.  They are at a crossroads in their lives, they are comfortable with who they are, many have raised their families, and now would like to find people with common ground.  There are many diversified activities conducted by team members who volunteer their services, held at many of the participating Catholic churches around Buffalo.  The organization, at it's inception in November, 1996, had over 1,000 members.  We know it is hard to find interesting things to do in a couples' world, so this would help to meet the needs of the heart, mind and spirit.
