👏 Gratitude Alert!👏

April marked the end of another fantastic year with the Mount St. Mary's University Best Buds. Our Friday Nights are a TON of fun, thanks to the awesome college students who help plan & lead.

Special congratulations to this year's graduates - especially their fearless leaders, James & Daniel! Thank you for your generosity & friendship! We can't wait to see what you do next. You always have a place at the L'Arche table!

Warmer days mean grilling season is just around the corner! L'Arche housemates are ready to get out on the deck for summer picnics, but one important piece is missing:

A Grill!🔥

Do you have an old grill that needs a new home? Plan on upgrading your BBQ set-up this year? L'Arche will gladly take your old set off your hands.

Reach out to Megan at meganguzman@larchefrederick.org. Thank you!

What are you growing in your garden this year?

On this chilly day, we’re reminded that nothing warms us up like a home-cooked meal and friends to share it with. Grateful for being together around the L’Arche table and everyone who makes this community possible!

Special thanks to the Seaman’s for making such a delicious meal! 💙

☔️Despite the unexpected chill in the air, we're forging ahead with a celebration of "springtime" at this month's Friday Night Gathering!

🌷Join us for a fun garden party at 7pm on Friday, April 11. Paint a springy pot to take home (with flowers!), play a few (indoor) lawn games, and let's celebrate sunnier days ahead together.
