This year, we’re dreaming BIG for #WeGiveCatholic! Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the Kaminski and Manella families, we have secured an unprecedented $250,000 in matching gifts for Light of Hearts Villa. That means every dollar we raise will help us unlock those matching funds as we work toward an ambitious goal of $500,000 for our mission!
We have until midnight on Giving Tuesday, December 1, to reach our goal — and we need the help of our entire Villa family to get there!
You don’t have to wait until Giving Tuesday to make your gift. Donations can be made now through the Light of Hearts Villa website, mailed directly to the Villa, or dropped off in person. Then, beginning November 21, gifts can also be made through our official #WeGiveCatholic page when Early Giving opens.
We know $500,000 is a big goal, but time and again, God provides through the incredible generosity of our Villa family. We invite you to pray about your gift, help us spread the word and join us during this historic matching opportunity. Every gift, at every level, moves us closer to unlocking the full $250,000 match and making an extraordinary impact for the residents we are blessed to serve.
You can make your gift in several ways:
We’re thrilled to be competing once again in the #weGiveCatholic Giving Day, where we challenge other Catholic organizations across Northeast Ohio. Last year, we placed 2nd out of 54 nonprofits, and this year we’re aiming for the top! The Early Giving phase begins at 12:00 AM on Saturday, November 21, though the leaderboard will go live only on Giving Tuesday—so join the excitement as we race to the top!
By giving before December 1, you will double your impact thanks to the matching gift. Your donation will ensure that no resident is ever turned away due to financial need.
Make your gift today, and let’s reach our $250,000 goal while climbing the #weGiveCatholic leaderboard!
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.
