Why L'Arche?

Everyone's aware of the tremendous violence in the world today. You don't need to go very far to see that there's a desperate cry for peace that we all share. Peace comes as we share our lives with others. Sometimes, it's when we share our lives with those who have no one else, who have come to a place of loneliness or isolation because of being different that this time of sharing means working towards peace.

L'Arche is celebrating 50 years of sharing lives. People with and without intellectual disabilities coming together, as one, to celebrate a unity that recognizes and celebrates difference as something we can share with one another, and still remain in harmony. Difference in ability, in religion, in nationality, in language, in being male or female, it's all about sharing our gifts!

We'd like you to join us in celebrating the diversity of difference, to share your life, your resources, with those who are in need of friendship.

At L'Arche Chicago, friendship is at the heart of our community life. We don't live together as provider and client, we live together in friendship of two people, offering the peace that comes with knowing love that affirms one of the most basic needs we all share.

Thursday, August 14th at 7pm is our monthly Community Night. We'll be spending time in prayer, fellowship, and sharing some little treats. Come join us at 1117 S. Austin Blvd. in Chicago, IL to meet and spend time with L'Arche Chicago!

THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE GIVEN! WE'RE APPROACHING $2,500 IN TOTAL GIFTS WITH OUR MATCHING DONOR! TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND HELP US RAISE THE $25,000 NEEDED TO MAKE $50,000 FOR 50 YEARS!
