The group, now seven years old, is meant to help members live more fulfilled |
Unless someone intentionally chooses to remain single, many single people question the purpose of their lot. After all, it was God who created Eve for Adam and who declared, "It is not good for the man to be alone." If being coupled stems back to Genesis, why am I alone? The mystery can translate into struggle, even pain, when we believe it must be "solved" rather than lived.
This is the type of unrest I was facing when I founded Serving God as a Single Person (www.sgspsi.org), a ministry for Catholic adults in their 30s and 40s. The group, now seven years old, is meant to help members live more fulfilled, empowered lives by deepening their Catholic spirituality with like-minded peers, and offering events that address spiritual, intellectual, practical, social, and charitable values.
The group, based in Staten Island, New York, has a philosophy that extends beyond locale and denomination: It takes surrendering to mystery in order to be patient with being single, and it's less difficult to accept when you have a community of others in the midst of the same mystery.
