L’Arche International Comes to Atlanta, Georgia in 2012

Across the world, in cultures as diverse as Poland, Japan, Haiti, Uganda and the U.S., L’Arche communities provide residential homes, work programs, and a network of long-term friendships that enable persons with intellectual and development disabilities to contribute creatively to their own society.

Every three years, all of those diverse L’Arche cultures of the International Federation of L’Arche Communities come together for a week share, provide mutual support, deepen and renew our sense of mission and solidarity.  This gathering of delegates from countries around the world aims to celebrate the diversity of the Federation and to create a sense of one body. From June 1- 10, 2012, over 500 women and men (100 of whom will be persons with an intellectual disability) will come together in Atlanta, Georgia, at Agnes Scott College in the city of Decatur for this unique assembly.
