L’Arche fosters an environment where habits of the heart are cultivated – careful listening so that each person’s voice is heard; empathy; gratitude; recognizing and celebrating the personal gifts of others. Our emphasis on living for others took on a whole new meaning during the pandemic. I was deeply moved by how everyone, our team members and our Core Members, committed to living a “stay-at-home lifestyle” for the sake of everyone else.

Each season calls us into a spirit of gratitude, to say thank you to God and to one another. I am so very grateful for you and all our friends and supporters. My heart is full of gratitude for the circle of care that holds the people and mission of L’Arche St. Louis. We never take this for granted. Your support, always a gift, freely given and freely renewed, is precious. From everyone who is part of our daily life community and our Board, a heartfelt Thank you!
