L'Arche Portland is part of L'Arche International, a world-wide network of homes where people with developmental disabilities and those who share life with them live in community. We strive to reveal the unique value and vocation of each person. Growing in wholeness is the outcome of the shared activities of everyday life: communication, work, play, prayer and celebration. By nurturing relationships of mutuality in which people give and receive love, we desire to be a sign of unity, faithfulness and reconciliation.
