Holy Angels

Today, Holy Angels offers residential services to approximately 185 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities from more than 20 states. In 2012, Holy Angels expanded its mission to include a program that serves as a benefit not only to its residents, but also to individuals with disabilities from the Northwest Louisiana community who are seeking opportunities for meaningful work. The award-winning AngelWorks Day Program provides participants with work readiness training, job coaching, and job placement through its five enterprises: Business Services, Culinary Arts, Creative Arts, Horticulture and Holy Rhino Coffee, a partnership with the Shreveport-based company, Rhino Coffee. Holy Angels provides clients with a path to self-fulfillment through education, empowerment, independence and work. Some of the special amenities offered at Holy Angels include the Aquatic Center, “GREAT” equine therapy, exercise physiology, Holy Angels Choir, performing arts such as talent shows and Christmas and Easter pageants, Chapel, and special community outings to the symphony, opera and local theater. Holy Angels’ AngelCare services include occupational therapy, pet therapy, speech therapy and applied behavioral analysis. Relaxation and sensory stimulation are offered in a state-of-the-art SNOEZELEN room. Holy Angels is a true gem of the State of Louisiana. For more than 50 years the legacy of Bishop Greco and the Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows has been sustained through prayer, hard work, love, and visionary leadership. Holy Angels strives to be a sign of hope, love, entrepreneurial innovation, and empowerment to thousands of nation’s most vulnerable individuals and their families, each with a compelling need. The story continues to be written.
