This work revolves around the analysis of the first book of proceedings of the Catholic Feminine Union Assembly (UFCM, for the acronym in Spanish)- founded in April 25th of 1938- and that was located in the archive of the church of San Jerónimo, in Coatepec Veracruz. This book contains a total of 76 minutes: the first corresponds to the foundation of this network and the last assembly of October 17 of 1941. Through them it is possible to know the details, the charity work carried out thanks to the effort of the women constituting the group who showed a great concern for education from a christian perspective, manifested in the help of the poor, the sick and to the preparation of seminarians. At the same time it sought to consolidate an economic strategy in order to execute the diverse activities of its organization. Parallel to this we found that the UFCM had an efficient regulation system that allowed for a competent handling of the works previously mentioned. The constant work of this group marked a before and after in women's lives that conformed the group but moreover in the lives of the people they impacted upon.
