"We became acquainted with L'Arche through our daughter, Cynthia, who was an assistant for three years in L'Arche in France. We visited her there several times and were immediately drawn into the community by the core members and assistants. We experienced a true home full of compassion, kindness and mutual acceptance. And every day seemed to be an occasion to celebrate! We knew would like to be a part of something like that in Atlanta and were delighted to join the effort to bring L'Arche to our city.
Deo gratias!"

- Chuck and Judy, Friends of L'Arche Atlanta board members

L'Arche House Workdays Fall 2011

Thanks to all who came out for our workdays to finish the house renovations. We are so grateful for the ever expanding community we are building here in Atlanta. The contractors have now completed their work on the renovations and the house looks beautiful! We are still working on furnishing the house and preparing for our inspection to get licensed by the state. If you haven't yet donated for 2011, won't you consider doing so now?
