This paper analyzes how the Mexican League of Catholic Women (1912-1932) carried out associative activities through a program for political-social action. For that purpose, they used diverse locations of the urban space of Mexico City such as parishes, blocks and neighborhoods. The paper also examines how these activities enabled these women to build a social network around the city through which they simultaneously operated and articulated a spatial structure that supported all of their activities such as the creation of a catechetical system, catholic schools or labor unions as means for publicly and politically oppose the post-revolutionary governments. The role of the parish is examined as a fundamental institution for the organization and adaptation of these women in the urban space.

Palabras llave : Catholic women; urban space; parish; catholic militancy; post-revolution.
