We're feeling lucky, aren't you?

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

In Irish tradition, céad míle fáilte—“a hundred thousand welcomes”—is more than a phrase. It’s a way of life. A promise that there is a place for you here.

This St. Patrick’s Day, you can help make that promise real.

Your gift to the Unity Campaign creates spaces of true belonging—where every person is met with not just one welcome, but a hundred thousand. Where friendships are formed, gifts are celebrated, and no one is left on the outside.

In our community home and our inclusive events, welcome isn’t just something we say—it’s something we build, together.

💚 Will you help us extend a hundred thousand welcomes today? Donate now and be part of something truly meaningful. Visit ➡ https://tinyurl.com/LArche2026

Lots to celebrate at L’Arche! At this month’s house community night, we gave thanks for another trip around the sun for Program Coordinator, Tiffany, & Community Leader, Megan. We shared their gifts and enjoyed lots of cake! 🥳

We also welcomed our newest core member, Paola! Together with her family, we shared a blessing and our hopes for her in our home. Here, Paola is modeling the “welcome lei” we created. 🌺 Our house community grows stronger every year!
