Your place in the story
Give once, or walk with us each month. Gifts great and small put tangible mission work into motion across Northwest Ohio.
What your gift helps make possible
Image Trinity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions to support Live IT Toledo are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
The first way to build with us is to pray with us.
Monthly giving gives this mission the steady capacity to accompany people, support LIT Groups, and drive this mission in an ongoing way.
Payment is handled by Stripe. You can change or end a monthly gift at any time, and no explanation is ever required.
The Insight
At Franciscan, Father Michael Scanlan confronted isolation not with another event, but with households: small communities of prayer, friendship, mutual support and mission. They helped change the culture of a university.
What if that same principle were lived across a city?
A citywide mission hub helping Catholics pray in the rhythm of the Gospel and the liturgical year, gather in flesh-and-blood community, carry real needs, and live the mission together.
More than Sunday to Sunday.
More than event to event.
A Catholic people living the faith together.
The Proof
Live IT Toledo already brings together daily prayer, LIT Groups, shared intentions, community needs, Catholic businesses, regional media, and personal invitation — all designed to move people from digital encounter into real relationships and shared mission.
The foundation is here.The next threshold is giving it the human leadership, reach, and sustained attention a living regional movement requires.
The Overflow
Imagine Catholics across a city leaving Sunday Mass not simply strengthened personally, but conscious that we belong to one another and share a mission in this place.
Every great team understands the power of shared identity and shared mission. As the baptized, we have been given both. The opportunity is to live them.
Sunday is not the finish line. It is the source of a shared mission.

Built for presence
In a world of extraordinary digital connection and profound human isolation, Live IT Toledo is built to move Catholics into real life together — prayer, homes, friendship, mutual responsibility and mission.
A generational recovery of authentic friendship, shared faith and human presence.
The horizon
Northwest Ohio is home. The vision includes a physical Live IT Toledo mission center for prayer, formation, hospitality, LIT Groups and mission.
If this way of Catholic life proves fruitful here, other cities can build their own locally rooted expression.
Your Part
The Founders Circle
Some commitments deserve more than an online form. The Founders Circle is a confidential conversation for people and families considering a major, multi-year, or legacy gift to help establish Live IT Toledo as a lasting regional movement — and a model other cities can learn from.
It is not a separate group, a business package, or a public donor tier. There are no advertised benefits or visibility to purchase — only a direct, candid conversation about the vision, its stewardship, what it will take, and what a cornerstone gift could make possible.
Considering a cornerstone gift? Let’s talk. Ask the hard questions and get plain answers about the vision, who is carrying it, how gifts are stewarded, what it will take to build this well, and what your commitment could make possible.
For Business Owners
Catholic business owners can belong in two distinct ways: become a Business Partner so faithful neighbors can find you, or one of twelve Premium Business Partners helping carry the movement itself.
Pastor or parish leader? See how parishes can begin — free and with our support.
Every day we pray, “Thy Kingdom come.” Live IT Toledo is an invitation for Catholics across a city to live that prayer together — offering ourselves as instruments of His answer.
