The L’Arche Calgary Art Show has officially begun! 🎨

After months of preparing, we are so excited to finally share this exhibition with the community.

Our Core Members have poured so much creativity, care, and joy into these paintings, and it means so much to see their work displayed throughout the gallery. Each piece reflects the unique perspective and talent of the artist who created it.

The show runs until June 6 at cSpace Marda Loop, and we would love for you to come experience it in person. We can't wait for Calgary to see what our artists have created.

Today we’re sharing a thoughtful reflection from Doreen, a Live-in Assistant at Haeremai house, on what it means to live life in community at L’Arche Calgary. 💙

Life Lived in a Community

Living in a community means more than simply sharing the same place with others. It is about building relationships, supporting one another, and creating a sense of belonging. In the L’Arche Calgary community, people celebrate together during joyful moments and stand beside each other during difficult times. Through kindness, respect, and cooperation, individuals learn that they are not alone.

Community life also helps people grow. By participating in activities, helping the vulnerable, and sharing experiences, people develop confidence, understanding, and friendship. Every person brings unique gifts, talents, and ideas that make the community stronger and more meaningful.

A well-lived community is one where everyone feels valued and included. People are encouraged to listen, care, and work together for the good of all. In the L’Arche community, differences are respected, and every individual has the opportunity to contribute and thrive.

Ultimately, life lived in a community teaches us the importance of compassion, unity, and human connections. It reminds us that together, we can create a place where everyone feels accepted, supported, loved and a deep sense of belonging.

What a fantastic day trip to Vulcan, Alberta!

On Saturday, 17 of us from L’Arche Calgary boldly ventured to the Trek Station for a one-of-a-kind Star Trek experience. Between the hilarious green screen photos, lots of laughter, and unforgettable memories, this trip was truly out of this world.

Thank you to everyone who made the day so special. We had an amazing time exploring, connecting, and sharing a unique cultural adventure together.

“Live long and prosper!” 🖖
