Catholic Citizenship

Catholic Citizenship is a non-profit issue advocacy organization.

Founded in 2004 by former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican and 3-term Boston Mayor Ray Flynn, Catholic Citizenship was a partner in the effort to ban same-sex marriage in Massachusetts by placing a constitutional amendment before the voters. The amendment never made it as the state legislature voted it down in 2007.

The organization now focuses on education forums, voter guides and other grassroots activities centered on Catholic communities such as parishes and clubs like the Knights of Columbus. The organization is located in Woburn, Massachusetts.
