Angela House’s ‘Holistic Approach’ Aids in Transition from Prison Life

Specify Alternate Text

June 27, 2016, Houston, Texas – Sister Maureen O’Connell, OP, believes the “holistic approach” of meeting the individual needs of each resident of Angela House leads to the program’s success in helping formerly incarcerated women to transition back into society. Since Sister Maureen founded the organization in 2002, Angela House has brought 322 women back into the community. Angela House is held up as an example of a life-changing organization that receives funding from the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston’s Diocesan Services Fund.
