An Inside Look at Our Community
For the latest news, join our mailing list! We send emails 2-3 Fridays each month with stories, photos, updates from our community, and invitations to upcoming events.
Home and Belonging
On any given evening in our homes you will find people preparing dinner, singing, praying together, and sharing the most immediate concerns of their lives. Local friends and students who find themselves drawn to the L’Arche St. Louis table become regulars. No matter their strength or struggle, people come away changed by their encounters with our culture of kindness and belonging.
Walls of Joy
Community members, family, friends, and neighbors wrote messages of love and joy in the walls of our fourth home this week. We are grateful for this community of people working together to build a world where everyone belongs!
