ROSELIA FOUNDLING ASYLUM AND
MATERNITY HOSPITAL
The Roselia Foundling Asylum and Maternity Hospitalis
located at Cliff and Manila streets, Pittsburgh. It was estab-
lished by the Sisters of Charity on July 16, 1891, in a little
home on Forbes street, not far from the site of the present
magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral. In a few months the need
for its service became so apparent that it was necessary to
secure far more commodious quarters.
[n 81 years it has cared for 5,195 women and 10,546 chil-
dren, and is now receiving yearly approximately 100 little
waifs, securing permanent homes for these children, where
they can develop into useful Christian men and women. It
provides for the unfortunate girl and her innocent offspring
and cares for mothers and their children who have no means.
Creed, color or previous condition erects no barrier for ad-
mission to Roselia. The secondary purpose .f the institution
's to provide professional attention and tender but scientific
:are for married women, before, during and after maternity—
women who, for one reason or another, are either homeless or
~annot, for various causes, receive in their homes the atten-
tion which their condition demands.
