Holy Family Hospice

Holy Family Hospice 

 Faithful Care at Life’s Final Chapter

For nearly 70 years, Holy Family Hospice has carried on the sacred mission begun by the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne and their foundress, Venerable Rose Hawthorne — declared Venerable Servant of God by Pope Francis in 2024. Rose devoted her life to caring for poor and incurable cancer patients, ensuring that no one faced death alone.

What the Sisters began as care for the dying became known in the 1970s as hospice. Today, Holy Family continues that legacy — providing expert clinical care, compassionate support, and the comfort of the sacraments for people with any incurable illness.

"It gives us happiness to know that the Holy Family Home is continuing in our mission and keeping it Catholic."

Unlike a single residence, Holy Family Hospice serves hundreds of families across Northeast Ohio — in their homes, in nursing facilities, and at our inpatient hospice center. Your support reaches further, bringing faith-filled care and comfort wherever it's needed most.

Your gift ensures that:

• Patients receive skilled medical and pain-relieving care.
• Families are supported with counseling and bereavement services.
• Catholic sacraments and prayer bring peace in life’s final moments.
• The legacy of the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne continues for future generations.

 You’re not just supporting a house — you’re sustaining a ministry of healing and hope that touches hundreds of families each year.
