Marian Sisters of the Diocese of Lincoln
Sister Marta and Sister Theresa, the foundresses of the Marian Sisters, were members of the Mercy Sisters of St. Francis in Czechoslovakia. In 1950, they escaped Communist rule in Czechoslovakia. Bishop Kucera invited them to serve at St. Thomas Orphanage. In 1954, the Marian Sisters were established as the first Lincoln diocesan religious community. In 1963, Marycrest Motherhouse was built. The Community received Papal approval in 1983. The Sisters followed the Franciscan Rule and their own Constitutions. Their charism is to “Do God’s Will joyfully in imitation of Mary and Saint Francis.” The Marian Sisters teach in Catholic schools in Lincoln, David City, and Wahoo. Sisters also serve at St. Gianna Women’s Homes, Villa Marie, and the Diocesan Chancery.
