We are now officially L'Arche St. Louis!!!
 L'Arche St. Louis opened its first L'Arche home on June 7, 2011 to establish a L'Arche community in St. Louis, and we are actively seeking others like you to join us. This L'Arche home is located at 2900 Marshall in Maplewood.

Identity and Mission of L'Arche

...Relationship...Transformation...Sign...

We are people with and without developmental disabilities sharing life in communities belonging to an International Federation.  Mutual relationships and trust in God are at the heart of our journey together.  We celebrate the unique value of every person and recognize our need of one another.
 
As we continue to grow our community, we seek to follow the mission of L'Arche which is to:
bullet Make known the gifts of people with intellectual disabilities, revealed through mutually transforming relationship.
bullet Foster an environment in communities that responds to the changing needs of members, while being faithful to the core values of our founding story.
bullet Engage in our diverse cultures, working together toward a more human society.
