Thank you for your support

Holy Angels would like to thank the many individuals, companies, churches, schools and other groups from throughout the Charlotte diocese who supported us so generously during the recent Christmas season. Countless residents from around the surrounding community brought presents for our residents, as well as gifts of money, equipment and other necessities. Every gift, every visit and every prayer brought love and joy to our residents and their families.
We feel incredibly blessed through the support we receive from this community throughout the year with our special events such as the annual Angel Bowl and your assistance on needed projects around our campus. You make it possible for us to offer a home of unconditional love and unlimited possibilities for children and adults with intellectual developmental disabilities, many of whom are medically fragile. Our prayer for you is a joyous and healthy 2012.
Regina P. Moody is the president and CEO of Holy Angels in Belmont.
