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 a beautiful reflection on Lent that deeply resonated with many of us.
Lent is a time to turn our hearts toward God, seeking renewal, reconciliation, and a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. It is a season of reflection, prayer, and acts of kindness as we prepare for the joy of Easter. The ashes we receive on Ash Wednesday remind us of our humility and our hope in the promise of new life through Christ. As we journey through this sacred season, we encourage all to embrace the spirit of giving, love, and renewal in their daily lives.
We also invite you to join us for a special Easter celebration! On Saturday, April 19 at 2 PM, we will host a family Easter Egg Hunt here at Light of Hearts Villa. We encourage all family members and friends to bring their little ones for an afternoon of fun, faith, and connection. There will be an egg hunt, arts & crafts celebrating Jesus’ resurrection, a visit from the Easter Bunny, and more! Your presence will make our residents’ Easter weekend even brighter, and we would love to see you there. No RSVP required, learn more here >
In addition, we will be hosting a St. Patrick’s Day Karaoke here at the Villa on Monday, March 17 at 1:30 PM. Families and friends are welcome to join their loved ones for this festive event!
We are grateful to share that we remain COVID-free, though we have seen a few cases of influenza. As always, we encourage anyone feeling unwell to stay home and to wear a mask as a precaution if needed. With spring around the corner, we are hopeful that we will continue to stay healthy in the months ahead.
Lastly, if you haven’t already, be sure to check out our 2024 Impact Report, available digitally or in print at our front lobby during your next visit. Your continued support fuels our mission and enriches the lives of our residents.
Here’s to a vibrant April and the adventures that await us!

Though the halls may serve a new purpose today, the spirit of Lumen Cordium continues to live on through the friendships, faith, and memories shared by generations of alumnae.
As the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine celebrate 175 years of serving others, we’re honored to share stories from those whose lives have been touched by their mission. For Jennifer Grogan, assistant dietary director at Light of Hearts Villa, working alongside the Sisters has been a powerful reminder of what it means to lead with compassion, serve with humility, and care for others with unwavering grace.
We are thrilled to share exciting news with our community — Light of Hearts Villa has officially received a deficiency-free rating on our 2025 Annual State Survey conducted by the Ohio Department of Health!
