Joseph’s Home Luncheon Enjoyed by All

Over 240 guests gathered on June 30 to join staff and residents as they celebrated the 10th anniversary of Joseph’s Home with a festive and colorful luncheon held at Windows on the River. For the past decade this important ministry of the Sisters of Charity Health System has served some of Cleveland’s most vulnerable residents. Guests enjoyed both a visual and gastronomic feast as they enjoyed an art show and auction featuring the works of Joseph’s Home’s residents who have participated in the Resident Art Program.

The originator of the program and former board chair, William M. Denihan, received a plaque recognizing his ongoing efforts directing the art classes and encouraging the residents to explore the joys of artistic expression. One special painting was a portrait of Sr. Joan Gallagher, CSA, presented to her in honor of her position as the first Executive Director of Joseph’s Home and a driving force in establishing the facility. The painting created by one of the current residents surprised and delighted Sr. Joan who invited the artist on stage for recognition.
