Welcome to Holy Angels!

Holy Angels is a private, nonprofit corporation dedicated to providing a home of unconditional love and unlimited possibilities for children and adults with mental retardation and physical disabilities. Many of our residents are medically fragile and require specialized medical care.

Founded in 1956 in Belmont, NC, by the Sisters of Mercy, Holy Angels offers innovative programs and services for our residents. They include residential services, special education, medical services, creative arts therapy, social work, habilitation services, nutrition, recreation, vocational training, horticulture therapy and opportunities for spiritual growth.

Holy Angels currently serves 77 residents who live in a specialized community residential center (SCR), five Intermediate Care Facilities for the Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR) and four community group homes. Some of our residents receive vocational training and enjoy employment at Cherubs Cafe & Candy Bouquet, two small businesses owned and operated by Holy Angels in downtown Belmont. Further, our residents enjoy spending time at Camp Hope, a handicap accessible camp with nature trails located on the South Fork River.

Holy Angels is committed to helping our residents have the highest quality of life and reach their full potential. We invite you to visit and see firsthand the miracles and good works that happen every day. Click here to schedule your tour!
