What is L'Arche

 L'Arche homes are spirited and joyful places where everyone's gifts are fostered and valued. Human and spiritual values are both vibrantly alive, and friends form an extended family. Offering a life-long home and support to those with intellectual disabilities is the mission of every L'Arche community.

L'Arche Frederick has been growing our Community since 2009.

We have been leading monthly events at Saint Katharine Drexel  Church in Frederick Maryland for the last five years, and looking to open our first home in 2020.
