The Catholic Alumni Club of Boston (CAC) has been in existence for over forty years and is affiliated with the Catholic Alumni Clubs International (CACI). We are a volunteer organization of over 200 single Catholic professionals ages 45 and up enjoying each other's company in a wide variety of social, religious and cultural settings.
Our purpose is to encourage friendship and camaraderie among people of similar backgrounds. Although CAC is not a matchmaking organization, many marriages do result from the wonderful friendships that start at CAC events.
To enable members to join in fellowship and community by sharing their common faith, values, Christian ideals, and educational backgrounds with other single professionals. To provide a forum for members to participate in enriching and rewarding experiences such as religious and charitable activities, social gatherings, cultural programs, and sporting events at local, regional, and national levels. To maintain and expand our membership so the Club continues its vitality as a thriving organization.
Full Membership is offered to those men and women who are single and Catholic; free to marry in the Church; and have received a minimum of an Associate's Degree or attained Registered Nurse status or a Professional Certificate or License. Associate membership is offered to those who do not meet the above criteria.
Dues are $40 per year, $75 for two years. International membership dues are $45 per year - payment accepted in U.S. funds.
