The L’Arche core value for this month is Foster a Vibrant Community. To foster our community, we must immerse ourselves into it. Make

others feel welcome, celebrate each other, create traditions, spend time together, create a rythm in your every day life, and help others

to feel like they belong – because we ALL belong! Step out in to the community and make a connection with someone, even a small

gesture can help bring us together. As Helen Keller said “alone we can do so little; together we can do so much”.
