Our People

Even though the culture and charism of L'Arche is predominately Catholic, the population is Ecumenical.  There are assistants of other faiths from Peru, Germany, Morocco, The Philippines, India and some mid-eastern nations.  It makes for a very interesting mix.

I continue gardening.  Our charming grotto has been neglected for months.  In Florida, it doesn't take long for the jungle to take back its claim on the land.  More weeding, mulching and planting, culminating in bleaching Our Lady's statue and the wooden benches surrounding her, so I can apply wood preservative. It's a lovely spot with Spanish Moss hanging from the live oaks overhead.  As soon as the weather breaks, we are going to meet out there to pray the Rosary on Monday afternoons.
