Senior Residential Facility in Bedford, Ohio

The arrival of March fills our hearts with joy! With warmer weather on the docket this week, we are feeling energized and excited for the arrival of spring and of course the Lenten season we are in.

Miguel Chavez, the Sr. Vice President of Mission and Ministry with the Sisters of Charity Health System, recently shared profound sentiments during the first week of Lent that deeply resonated with many of us. He emphasized the significance of Lent as an opportune moment to reaffirm our commitment to the vital work of charity, a calling we are tasked to embrace and enact through the various ministries we engage in. It is a reminder that each day presents us with numerous chances to utilize our unique gifts and talents to positively impact the lives of those in need. In the words of the revered modern-day Brazilian saint, Irmã Dulce Lopes Pontes, “The important thing is to do charity, not to talk about charity.” This highlights the wonderful mission of serving those who are marginalized or in distress, which we are honored to do as we care for our senior residents day in and day out.

Additionally, we will be hosting an Eclipse Viewing Party here at the Villa next Monday, April 8 starting around 2 PM. Families and friends are welcomed to join their loved ones for the historic event but we do ask that you bring your own viewing glasses if you have them. We have enough ordered for our residents and staff, but may not have enough for guests.

During your visit, don’t forget to explore our Cozy Corner Resale Shop. Recently replenished with a wealth of treasures from a generous estate donation, including exquisite jewelry, yarn, household essentials, apparel, and footwear—there’s something for everyone. The shop welcomes visitors between 12-2 PM and 4-8 PM, and all proceeds go towards the Sister Helen T. Scasny, SC Benevolent Fund, supporting residents in need.
