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
Women and Leadership Archives
Loyola University Chicago
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.
