NATIONAL CATHOLIC WELFARE CONFERENCE. - It was established in 1919 after the First World War and is an organization of the members of the ecclesiastical hierarchy of the United States of America with purposes clearly defined by the brief Communes litteras of Benedict XV (April 10, 1919) and by the apostolic letter of Pius XI (Aug. 10, 1927).

Every bishop of the territory and of the possessions of the United States is an active and passive member. Its purpose is to unify, coordinate and organize all Catholic activities, as, for example, in the educational and social fields and in assistance to immigrants. The directing office is composed of 10 bishops elected for one year at the annual Conference of the hierarchy.
