Knights, volunteers, supporters make summer camp special for Holy Angels residents
BELMONT — Holy Angels and the Knights of Columbus hosted an annual boat ride and cookout Sept. 17.
The Knights from Council 770 and Queen of the Apostles Church joined together to grill hamburgers and hot dogs for Holy Angels’ residents and staff.
The Knights recruited friends from the Charlotte Yacht Club to bring pontoon boats to the Holy Angels Camp for everyone to enjoy a leisurely ride around the lake. Members of the Ceol na Gael Irish Pipe Band from Charlotte provided musical entertainment at the cookout.
Holy Angels provides specialized, around-the-clock care for children and adults with intellectual developmental disabilities and delicate medical conditions at its facility in Belmont, located on the Sacred Heart Campus of the Sisters of Mercy.

DENVER — As the Jubilee Year of Mercy draws near its conclusion, the Diocese of Charlotte’s Youth Ministry recently hosted a retreat on the theme of “Enduring Mercy.”
More than 120 youths from across western North Carolina gathered at Holy Spirit Church in Denver to hear talks on God’s mercy, the Eucharist and discernment about God’s will in their lives.
The retreat was led by Father Jason Barone, Father Cory Catron and Father Jim Collins. The young people attended Mass, participated in Eucharistic Adoration and had the opportunity to go to confession during the weekend retreat.
