Our Story: A Mission of Mercy
The Marian Home was established in 1960 in the old Combelt Hotel at First Avenue North and Seventh Street, by the Catholic Diocese of Sioux City. Sister Mary Leopoldine, a Franciscan Sister of Perpetual Help of St. Louis Missouri, was the Administrator of the newly formed nursing facility.
The original Marian Home operated until 1974, when the office of Comprehensive Health Planning of Iowa approved the construction of a new facility. The 97 bed facility was approved by the board and requested the new structure be a "Diocesan Institution". A corporation was formed and the Bishop of the Diocese appointed a priest to take charge of construction. An "open house" was held April 25, 1976 and the Marian Home started to admit residents on May 26, 1976.
The Marian Home is an extension of Christ's mission of mercy. Christ's love for man was demonstrated by his healing of the sick; so the Catholic Home must serve all men and women in charity, regardless of race, creed or ethnic background.
