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.
Your place in the story
Give once, or give each month. Your generosity helps sustain the deeply human work technology cannot replace — accompanying people, supporting LIT Groups, responding personally, telling the stories, and keeping a growing regional mission moving.
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 keep showing up over time.
Payment is handled by Stripe. You can change or end a monthly gift at any time, and no explanation is ever required.
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.

Culture
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
Founding-scale generosity
Founding-scale generosity will build the capacity to make this vision real across Northwest Ohio — and, as it bears real fruit here, become a model for every community throughout the country.
Considering a transformational founding gift? Let’s talk. Ask the hard questions and get plain answers about the vision, who is carrying it, what it will take to build this well, and what a significant founding investment could make possible.
For Business Owners
Catholic business owners can build with us in two distinct ways: join the Business Directory so faithful neighbors can find you, or become a Mission Partner and help 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.
