PRINCETON — Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission is the new owner of the former Orchard View Rehab and Healthcare — formerly the county-owned Prairie View Nursing Home.

The new buyer, officially listed at the Bureau County Courthouse as Chicago Title and Trust, purchased the property on Feb. 17 On Friday, Jan Imhof of Dubuque, Iowa, a spokesperson for Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission, confirmed the religious organization is the new owner.

According to Bureau County Zoning Officer Kris Donarski, the property includes about 20 acres, the former Orchard View nursing home and the residence on the property.

Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission originated in Chicago with ties to Madison, Wis., and Dubuque, Iowa. Imhof released the following as the organization’s mission statement:

“To help The Salvation of God’s people’s Souls in order to give praise and glory to God, in thanksgiving for our Salvation, by:

“1. Proclaiming and witnessing Jesus Christ, Who Is The Truth, The Way, The Life.

“2. Proclaiming and witnessing ‘The Holy Map to Heaven.

“3. Helping God’s people to follow Jesus Christ, ‘The Holy Journey to Heaven.

“Therefore we as a Mission bring Almighty God’s eternal Life-Giving Holy Word, The Truth, to all God’s people for the Purification and Sanctification of their Souls by keeping God’s Commandment to Love God with all your Heart, with all your Soul, with all your Mind, and with all your strength, and Love your neighbor as yourself, Based on The Holy Roman Catholic Church’s Faith which is Founded on The Seven Holy Sacraments.”

To date, the organization has not acknowledged how they intend to use the property.

Donarski said the property is zoned agriculture. The nursing home and residence on the property were established before the county had its zoning ordinances and is therefore considered grandfathered in. The same use (nursing home) for the property can continue with a different owner as long as no more than 12 months has elapsed since it was last used for that purpose. The last resident moved from Orchard View on June 9, 2011.

Since the farm residence is already zoned agriculture, the use of the house as a residence would be a permitted use.

If Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission would have other proposed uses for the nursing home building, including establishing a multi-family dwelling or apartments, the new owner would need to file a petition with the Bureau County Zoning Office and go through the hearing process before final approval would be considered by the Bureau County Board.

Donarski said no conditional use or rezoning requests have been filed in her office regarding the property.
