Casa Maria was founded by Father David Innocenti (O. Carm) with the help of the Dioces of Tucson, especially, Bishop Francis J. Green and Rodolfo Cruz.

While Father David Innocenti (O. Carm) worked in a catholic worker house in Montreal Canada, he met Rodolfo Cruz, who found out that the poverty in Tucson was a bigger problem than in Montreal. So he told Father Innocenti who immediately contacted Tucson’s Dioces after investigating himself that poverty was a bigger problem than he had imagined.
