The Irene S. Taylor Endowed Chair for Catholic and Family Studies was established to support and advance Catholic values to strengthen families in response to the challenges of contemporary society. It is named in honor of the late Mrs. Irene S. Taylor, mother of SVC president Father Paul Taylor. Mrs. Taylor, a devout Catholic, an accomplished nurse, and a loving mother, believed the key to raising a strong family is to “Love them. Feed them. And want them around.”
