Our Mission
To create homes, day programs and support systems where faithful relationships based on forgiveness and celebration are nurtured.
To reveal the unique value and vocation of each person.
To change society by choosing to live relationships in community as a sign that hope and love are possible in our fragmented world.
How L'Arche Began
In 1964, the first L’Arche home opened in France in a previously abandoned small cottage. This community provided a home in the truest sense of the word and was a response to greater society’s call to bring people with intellectual disabilities out of the degrading conditions of institutions. No longer were people with disabilities seen as something shameful to be quarantined, but as full human beings inherently deserving of respect.
From these humble roots, L’Arche grew quickly. Today, there are 149 L’Arche communities and 14 projects in 37 countries around the world.
L'Arche has a unique vision of caregiving and commmunity building that fosters inclusion, understanding and belonging.
