preserving and restoring historic sites

VINCENTIAN Pathways

Introduction

At Light of Hearts Villa, our mission of providing faith-based senior care is deeply rooted in the legacy of the Vincentian Sisters of Charity. That same spirit of service, compassion, and dedication to community continues through Vincentian Pathways, an initiative committed to preserving and restoring historic Vincentian sites, gardens, and landmarks.

PRESERVING A sacred & historic space

Vincentian Pathways is a nonprofit organization founded to own and preserve the 8.5 acres of historic property formerly owned by the Vincentian Sisters of Charity in Bedford, Ohio. This preservation effort includes the restoration of the historic gardens and walking paths first created in 1928. Nestled in the quaint city of Bedford, this sanctuary provides space for neighbors and friends who desire quiet reflection while surrounded by nature’s beauty.
