In 1875, the Adorers of the Blood of Christ
from Italy established a house in Ruma,
Illinois. In 1902, another house was established
in Wichita, Kansas. The Sisters from both
Wichita and Ruma served the Catholic School in
Rulo, Nebraska. In 1921, Sisters began teaching
in David City, Nebraska. From 1939 to 1988, the
Community staffed St. Joseph Villa in David
City, which they continue to sponsor. Sisters
from the Adorers of the Blood of Christ also
taught summer CCD in the Lincoln Diocese from
1939-1991. Currently, they serve at St. Mary
Grade School in David City.
