About St Mary’s Mariannhill Nursing School
St. Mary’s Hospital was built in 1927 but was initially established by a group of Trappist monks in 1882 (follow this link for more information on the history http://mariannhillmonastery.org.za/history). Several of the monks were healers and it soon became clear that medical care was needed in the community. The monks appealed to women in their home parishes for assistance and five women responded. These 5 women formed the foundation of the Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood which is the order of nuns that still owns the Hospital today.
