Q: What is PCS Quizzo like?
A: We create a fun, friendly event where you will meet other singles and answer trivia questions! At PCS Quizzo you'll switch tables every round, increasing the number of new friends you make throughout the evening.
Q: Is there food?
A: Yep! $40 covers pizza, wine, and snacks.
Q: Is there parking?
A: Yep! Free parking across the street in the Catholic school parking lot for St. Margaret of Antioch.
Q: What does a waitlist do?
A: PCE uses waitlists to ensure an even male-female attendee ratio. You'll receive an email one week ahead of the event confirming if you've been admitted to the event or not.
Q: Why is this event ages 25-40 instead of 30-45?
A: Last year, nearly all of our events served the 30-45 age bracket. This year we hope to serve a variety of age brackets. About half of our events will continue to serve our 30-45 cohort, and then other offerings will serve other age groups. Check the age bracket carefully for each event!
PCS uses waitlists to keep the male : female gender balance for our events. For this reason, we don't allow walk-ins! You have to use the waitlist, and make sure you get a confirmation email!
For Singles ONLY 30-45 are welcome!
Event info: Join dozens of other Catholic singles for a relaxing afternoon hike in Valley Forge. We will park and meet at Knox's Headquarters. UPDATED: we will meet at 2:30.
Free event, free parking: No cost for this event, parking is free at the park
BYO: Waterbottle, sunscreen, bug repellent / tick spray encouraged
Waitlist: We use waitlists to keep an even male-female ratio. Watch your email to see if you are confirmed for the event!
Optional Dinner to Follow: The park is just a few minutes away from many restaurants in King of Prussia. The Core Team will make suggestions for good places to get dinner afterwards! You'll be on your own to coordinate among the group for this.

ABOUT THE EVENT /
🌳 Valley Forge Hike (Ages 30-45)
@phillycatholicsingles
For Singles ONLY 30-45 are welcome!
Event info: Our most popular event! Join dozens of Catholics ages 25-45 for speed dating followed by an optional Saturday Vigil Mass at Holy Innocents Parish in Juniata Park.
Cost: $30 cash covers snacks, mini hoagies, and coffee (no alcohol at this event since Mass is happening after)
Waitlist: We use waitlists to keep an even male-female ratio. Watch your email to see if you are confirmed for the event!
ID & Age Brackets: This is our largest-ever age range for speed dating! We are offering two age brackets: 25-35 and 30-45. People who are ages 30-35 can choose to participate in either one of these brackets, but not both (they will be happening at separate tables). Bring ID to verify your age at the door! During intermissions you may chat with people in any age bracket.
Free parking: Available at the parish
How PCS Speed Dating works: You'll arrive, pick up your name tag, and pay $30 cash. There will be some time to mingle with light snacks, and then our MC will ring a bell to get us started. You'll get to speak with every man / woman in your age bracket for 3-4 minutes, with an intermission in the middle of the event. You'll have a chance to write down the names of people who catch your eye on little business cards, and at the end of the event everyone will go home with their envelope of matches! We ask that interested parties reply to their business cards within a few days. Hopefully you'll make some nice connections!

The Problem: Catholic singles ages 25+ have a hard time meeting new people and often are aged out of typical “young adult” Catholic events.
The Solution: “Philly Catholic Singles: Events for Ages 25+.” We create fun, welcoming events where people can have a great time and get to know other Catholic singles their age.
The Patron Saint: St. Monica, a patron saint for those who have been praying for a heartfelt petition for many years. May our prayers be richly answered, like hers!
PCS in the News:
"Philly Catholic Singles Group Seeing Strong Growth, Proud Faith of Members"
Philly Catholic Singles, an organization for local single Catholics in their 30s and 40s, met for a private talk, the sacrament of penance, Mass, and tours of the tomb of St. Katharine Drexel and the Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul on Friday, June 20.
The group offers opportunities for single Catholics to meet each other in a faith-filled environment.
In only eight months since its formation at a Philadelphia Eagles watch party last October, the organization has grown to 270 members.
“We have seen more than one person per day join our group,” said Lauren Joyce, director of Philly Catholic Singles.
