The Diocesan Committee of the Women's Auxilary of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, covering southeastern Pennsylvania, was formed in 1898 to increase the number of parishes and to assist established mission. The Diocesan Committee concentrated its early effort of missionary work by assisting the femal population in orphanages, reformatories, prisons and hospitals. Subsequently, the Committee concerned itself with cultural displacement, prison and hospital conditions, orphans, the impact of the Depression and finally with employment and job training. Sometime after 1970, the Committee was subsumed together with two other branches of Episcopal Churchwomen into the new "Department of Diocesan Ministries."
