Biography Patricia (Patty) Caron was born 24 July 1913 in Chicago, Illinois, to Ovidas Joseph Caron, who

owned and operated the Caron Spinning Co. of Rochelle, Illinois (now Caron International) and his

wife, Marietta Higman Caron. She is the oldest of five children (Marietta, Richard, Joan, and John.)

In 1921, Patty attended school at the Sacred Heart Convent in Lake Forest, Illinois, before moving

to Sacred Heart School in Chicago. Patty then attended Immaculata High School in Chicago for her

first two years of high school before returning to Sacred Heart for her final two years, graduating in

1931. During her school years Patty was active in the Girl Scouts, founded in 1912 by Juliette

Gordon Low. After high school, Patty attended Trinity College in Washington, D.C., spending her

junior year abroad at the Sorbonne in Paris, and graduating in 1936 with a Bachelor of Arts. In

1934, during a weekend at home, she met her future husband, Patrick Francis (Pat) Crowley. They

became engaged on 24 April 1937 (the Caron’s wedding anniversary) and married on 16 October

1937 at Mt. Carmel Church in Chicago.

Pat and Patty Crowley shared a love for children, having five of their own – Patricia Ann (13 May

1939), Joan (29 August 1941 – 1 September 1941), Mary Ann (5 June 1943), Patrick Joseph (15

December 1944), and Catherine Anne (24 March 1947) – in addition to taking in countless foster

children and foreign students. Two children stand out as firsts - Algie Augustine, their first foster

child and who would stay close to the Crowley family, and Theresa, their first adopted child.

In 1941 the Crowleys’ moved to Wilmette, a move that changed their lives with Pat and Patty

becoming involved in Catholic action groups meeting at their local church. The traditional practice



Crowley, pg. 2

of these groups was for men and women to meet separately, a practice that continued during the

Crowleys’ attendance although other things changed. The biggest change was that the men in these

groups began to discuss family issues while the women in these groups discussed social issues.

Both men and women began taking action on issues that were important to them. During this period

the Crowleys’ began their involvement with the Friendship House of Chicago, a Catholic social

action group focusing on the improvement of race relations in the United States. This involvement

influenced the direction that the Crowleys’ took with their social justice actions.

In 1948, it was suggested that men and women meet together for the first time. This change brought

about the formation of a number of organizations: Pre-CANA, CANA, Christian Family Action,

and, ultimately, the Christian Family Movement (CFM). From the inception of Christian Family

Movement, the Crowleys’ were deeply immersed in coordinating activities in the United States as

well as helping people to start Christian Family Movement groups throughout the world. Among the

many countries they visited were Germany, France, Belgium, New Zealand, Ceylon, Portugal, the

Philippines, Tanzania, and Nigeria. Pat Crowley became the Christian Family Movement’s first

President in 1949.

The 1960s were years filled with travel for the Crowleys. In 1964 they embarked upon a world tour

to visit Christian Family Movement groups around the globe. In 1964 the Crowleys’ were appointed

by Pope Paul IV to the Birth Control Commission originally set up by Pope John XXIII, and went

to Rome four times as part of the Vatican Council. They also traveled to Japan, Taiwan, the

Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, India, and Israel for Christian Family Movement and the

International Union of Family. In 1967 the Crowleys’ moved from their home in Wilmette to 1300

Lake Shore Drive, later followed by a move in 1969 to the permanent Crowley residence at the John

Hancock Building in downtown Chicago.

By 1970 Ray and Dorothy Muldoon were organizing the domestic affairs of Christian Family

Movement, thus allowing the Crowleys’ to focus exclusively on the international aspects of the

organization. Between 1970 and 1971 they traveled to New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Manila,

Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.

Pat Crowley died at home on November 20, 1974. His death brought an end to the dynamic couple

that made appearances and hosted parties as part of their Christian and civic efforts. After Pat

Crowley’s death Patty Crowley continued her commitment to Christian efforts, although the scope

of her work changed over the last 20 years. Patty began dedicating her spare time and energy to the

issues of women who are poor and homeless. She put her talents to use at Deborah’s Place, a shelter

for women, and at various affiliated organizations. Patty also visited women prisoners.

Over the years the Crowleys’ have been awarded many honors for both their Church and civic

activities. This collection contains some of the honors they received, including the Pro Ecclesia et

Pontifice Medals bestowed by Pope Pius XII, and the Laetare Medal, the highest honor bestowed by

the University of Notre Dame. In addition they have received citations from Christian Family

Movement, the Afro-American Patrolmen’s League, the Chicago Commission on Human Relations,

and Conference of Christians and Jews. Patty has been honored individually as a recipient of the

Mundelein College Magnificat Medal, the Loyola University Camellia Award, and with honorary

doctorates from both Loyola University Chicago and Trinity College, Washington D.C.

organizations as Caron International, the Little Brothers of the Poor, the Foundation for

International Cooperation, International Visitors Center, the Friends of the Chicago Public Library,

Visiting Committee of the University of Chicago Divinity School, the Family Institute of Chicago,

the United Nations Association of Chicago, the Grand Council of the American Indian Center of
