• About Us
  L’Arche St. Louis stands out as a qualified support provider offering excellent care in homes that are regulated by the State. Beyond that we share life in communities belonging to an International Federation with written practices and guidelines based on 55 years of experience lived out in 37 countries around the world. We celebrate the unique value of every person. Trust in God is at the heart of our journey together. People are welcome from diverse backgrounds and faith practices including those with no religious affiliation at all.
• Our Impact
  In L'Arche, we believe in the transformation that comes from sharing in mutual relationships. We can learn from everyone, regardless of background, religion, race, ability, etc. L'Arche communities make an impact by revealing to the world the unique gifts of our friends with intellectual disabilities who have historically been uninvited to the table, if not hidden away. We do this by spending time together out and about in the community, welcoming guests and friends into the homes, and in many other ways. By doing these things, L'Arche strives to be a "school of the heart" for all involved.
