Summer 2010 L’Arche? A story of relationships. We live everyday life in our homes, sharing meals together, dirtying the house together and cleaning it together. We pray, we laugh, we cry... we support each other with and without apparent disabilities to discover that we are loved, precious, valued. During these past few months, two moments stands out for me. read more from our latest news letter ..

L'Arche Haiti
Dear
Friends in L’Arche, We
have been receiving your words of encouragement since the earthquake
which hit Haiti so hard, including our community of Carrefour. The
telephone calls of Jean Vanier to Jacqueline have brought some much
needed comfort to us, like a Eucharist, for the journey. Each person
here appreciates this active solidarity, which is coming from all
corners of the Federation. Thank you to all of you, from the bottom of
our hearts. The
members of L'Arche at Carrefour, having slept several nights in the open
air, are now sheltering in tents. Several of them have been welcomed by
the community of Chantal, where they have been happily settling in. But
with the rainy season almost upon us, our temporary shelter under canvas
is raising new fears and problems. Please, keep L'Arche Haiti and its
members in your prayers. The important task of reconstruction lies
ahead. I
would also like to make you aware that within the last week, L'Arche
Haiti has had some impact on the French media. The blog, ‘Mwen pa fou’,
that I invite you to check out, if you haven’t already done so, was
the subject of an article in the journal ‘La Croix’ in its internet
edition of 11th March. I
invite you to keep logging on to the blog of Jonathan, an assistant in
L'Arche Chantal, in order to get a better understanding of our
situation: http://larche.ca/reporters/jonathan/
You
could also read the article in La
Croix online, if you haven’t yet had the opportunity: http://www.la-croix.com/Mwen-pa-fou--le-blog-pour-les-amis-d-Haiti/article/2417902/25041 Please
continue to write to us. Your messages tell us that we are part of the
same family. This feeling of belonging to a common humanity builds up
our hopes in a new country, and in renewed communities carrying the
mission of L'Arche.

JEAN VANIER:
A TIME TO CELEBRATE On September 10, 2008, Jean Vanier turns 80 years old. lt is hard to believe, given Jean's seemingly boundless energy, as he travels the world and continues to inspire us through his words and actions. Raphael Amato

The Globe and Mail's Ian Brown visited Trosly-Breuil, the village in France where Jean Vanier lives, to begin a public and ongoing dialogue with the founder of L'Arche. |
