Father Cornelius Con Keogh , Order of Australia OAM , is an Australian Roman Catholic priest who founded the International Community Mental Health Movement GROW . Keogh entered the Springwood seminary at 18 years of age, and went on to study in Rome , obtaining degrees in philosophy and theology, and was ordained. On his return to Australia he became Professor of Philosophy at Springwood . Keogh suffered ill health in 1954 and was treated in hospital for mental illness. In 1957, whilst he was recovering from his episodes of unwellness, he began attending meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous , because there was at that stage no other support group available. Along with others who were also recovering from mental illness, Keogh began to develop the programme material and the structured network of support groups which became the GROW organisation. In 2004, Keogh was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for his work with GROW. ref http www.sydney.catholic.org.au News MR 2004126 1112.shtml Sydney priests among Australia Day honours list ref Keogh had resided in Sydney , Australia and left this world on November 24 , 2011 .
