L'Arche Adelaide

L'Arche Adelaide We were drawn together by a common vision of establishing community for people with and without intellectual disability in Adelaide.

L’Arche is an international federation of faith communities where people with and without an intellectual disability share life together. A group of people interested in starting a L’Arche community in Adelaide first met in January 2013. We were drawn together by a common vision of establishing community for people with and without intellectual disability. In mid 2015 L’Arche Adelaide officially b

ecame an incorporated body under the banner of L’Arche Australia. We are accorded project status by L’Arche International. We value the support of St Francis of Assisi Anglican Church, Clarence Gardens. Community gatherings are held regularly; our community weekend occurs every January. You’re welcome to attend gatherings, become a community supporter and/or volunteer. For more information about L'Arche Adelaide, please see our web page for contact details.

The art workshop held in May at the Adelaide West Uniting Church was an opportunity to learn how to create gelli prints. Thanks to Sandra Earle-Russo for leading this workshop. There were many wonderful prints created on the day that will be mounted and exhibited in the Art Exhibition in August. Thanks to the Shout for Joy team at Adelaide West for their welcome and hospitality.

We are so excited to have the L'Arche Melbourne community participating in our Art Project. Some of their members will be exhibiting artwork in our SALA exhibition at Pilgrim Uniting Church in August, and they will be coming over for the exhibition opening on 1 August. We are very much looking forward to welcoming them to Adelaide 😊
The L’Arche Adelaide Art Project has been the impetus for L’Arche Melbourne to get an Art Studio up and running. They have been running regular workshops to prepare for the Art Exhibition and will continue these workshops every Saturday. What an inspiration!! 👏👏
We’re looking forward to other L’Arche communities also contributing artworks to our Exhibition and some also making the trip to Adelaide 😊

UPDATE: In total, $504 was raised through Adam's Mother's Day Walk. That equates to a total of 1,008 meals for people in need. Thank you to everyone who supported Adam's fundraiser. Foodbank SA & NT extended their sincere appreciation. Well done to Adam & Bev👏👏
On Sunday 24th May, we had a great time supporting our community member, Adam's annual fundraising walk around Thorndon Park. This year was a little wet but still lots of fun! ☔️
Adam is a keen fundraiser and this year he is raising funds for Foodbank SA & NT, to provide meals for those in need. If you would like to donate to Adam's fundraiser, go to the link: https://fbsantadamsmothersdaywalk.raiselysite.com/.
Thanks to Adam & Bev for inviting us to be part of the walk and the lovely afternoon tea you provided afterwards at the Rezz Hotel 🤗
