Honoring Staff—Guardian Angel Program
If you have received exceptional care or have witnessed someone receiving exceptional care from a Catholic Care Center employee or volunteer, we want to know. With this program you have the opportunity to honor your Guardian Angel by making a gift in their honor to the Guardian Angel Program. We will recognize your angel with a letter of acknowledgement and a custom-crafted lapel pin. The Guardian Angel program provides support for three different funds which have been set up to assist and reward employees: Employee Scholarship Fund, Employee Assistance Fund, and an Extra Employee Benefits Fund.
