About Us
Love and marriage are among God’s greatest gifts—but today, their true meaning is often misunderstood. Cana Connections is founded on the Dominican principle Veritas—rooted in God’s truth about the self-giving love marriage is meant to be.
We help Catholic singles find a partner who shares their faith and honors holy matrimony as a sacred, lifelong covenant. Our work fosters Christ-centered unions that reflect the unconditional and sacrificial love of Jesus Christ, the Divine Bridegroom.
Inspired by the Wedding Feast at Cana—where Jesus turned water into wine—our name recalls His first miracle. Just as Christ was present at that wedding in a profound and miraculous way, He remains present today, pouring out His grace and love to strengthen and uplift husbands and wives in their journey toward holiness.
Purpose
To love and serve the Lord.
Mission
To be God’s instrument in helping Catholics find a spouse who will help them grow in holiness, a relationship through which they will journey toward Heaven together and become the people God created them to be.
Vision
To transform the world through holy families, where marriage serves as the foundation of the domestic church and as a source of renewal—ensuring that God’s truth and love continue to shape future generations.
Meet Your Matchmaker
I’ve always been told I have a gift for bringing people together—not just romantically, though I’ve had the joy of seeing many friends find love through connections I’ve made—but in all aspects of life. Whether it’s forming deep friendships, fostering community, or creating spaces where people feel truly seen and known, this has always been second nature to me.
Yet there is a deeper reason I feel so called to Catholic matchmaking. I know, in the most personal way, the ache of longing for love and sacramental marriage. I know the quiet heartbreak of waiting, wondering when—or if—my prayers for a holy spouse will be answered. I know what it feels like to be drawn to this vocation without yet seeing it fulfilled. And because I know this pain so intimately, I have a tender compassion for those who carry it too.
When I first sensed this mission stirring in my heart, I hesitated, as the irony of my own singleness did not escape me. Then I heard Fr. Mike Schmitz’s homily from his On Purpose series, where he encouraged us to pursue the work we are excellent at—not for ourselves, but for the good of others. God has given purpose to my brokenness: an opportunity to serve others, strengthen the Body of Christ, and uphold the sacredness of marriage as He intended.
Marriage is more than compatibility, shared hobbies, or fleeting chemistry. It’s a vocation to self-giving love—a sacrament that mirrors Christ’s boundless love for His Church. It’s a journey through which a husband and wife grow in holiness together. The couples I hope to unite aren’t simply looking for a relationship— they’re seeking someone who embraces this sacred calling, with sacrifice, fidelity, and faith at its core.
My promise to you is sincerity, authenticity, and a heartfelt desire to serve. Marriage is a sacred covenant, and I trust that God holds a unique plan for each of us. If you feel this calling too, I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.
