545 0 |a Born July 24, 1913, in Chicago, Illinois. Co-founder of the Christian Family Movement, distinguished civic activist. Patricia (Patty) Caron was born 24 July 1913 in Chicago, Illinois, to Ovidas Joseph Caron and Marietta Higman Caron. In 1921, Caron attended school at the Sacred Heart Convent in Lake Forest, Illinois, before moving to Sacred Heart School in Chicago. She 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. After high school, Caron 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 married on 16 October 1937 at Mt. Carmel Church in Chicago. In 1941 the Crowleys' moved to Wilmette, where they became very active in their church. In 1948, they helped found, organize, and structure Pre-CANA, CANA, Christian Family Action, and, ultimately, the Christian Family Movement (CFM). 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. Following Pat Crowley's death in 1974, Patty Crowley dedicated 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 Chicago shelter for women, and at various other affiliated organizations. Patty's civic commitments included positions as the director, president or board member of such 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 Chicago, the Latino Institute, and Chicago Catholic Women.
