Our Story
L'Arche Frederick Maryland is a group of dedicated and inspired individuals who seek to create a community for people with and without disabilities to share life in unity, faith, and friendship. This movement was founded in 1964 and has grown into an International Federation of 153 communities in 38 countries.
Since 2012, we have hosted monthly gatherings focused on cultivating relationships and highlighting the gifts of people with disabilities. Our future plans include opening our first home, where people with and without disabilities will live together.
