context_page_description: Caroline Chisholm was a 19th-century English humanitarian known mostly for her support of immigrant female and family welfare in Australia. She is commemorated on 16 May in the calendar of saints of the Church of England. There have been proposals for the Catholic Church also to recognise her as a saint; she had converted to Catholicism around the time of her marriage and reared her children as Catholic.
