What does it mean that L’Arche is also a faith community?

In both our communal life and our professional support, we strive for greater competence and shared learning. Living and serving in our community invites us to know ourselves and one another more truthfully through quality care and growth in mutual relationships.

Our community is multi-faith and interdenominational, rooted in the Christian tradition. L’Arche GWDC  welcomes people of all faiths, spiritualities, and those with no faith. 

Our practices, rituals, and traditions help us find meaning and shape our relationships, including the daily practices of celebration and forgiveness, sharing meals, and praying together nightly.
