dear friends,Bring Your Gifts is a central theme for L’Arche Greater Washington DC. It’s a welcome for everyone with or without intellectual disabilities to share and celebrate their own unique gifts.
L’Arche is a spiritual community where our faith is at the center of all we do. What-ever gifts we possess, we’ve been given them by God for God’s glory, and when we have done that, we are able to treat each other, no matter who we are and what our gifts may be, with honor and respect.
Our volunteers bring their talents for cooking, joining in on games and prayers, listening and participating in community life. Volunteers too realize their own special gifts when engaged with community members.
Donors give generously of their time, talents and treasure so that we can do the work we do: Build strong and caring communities.
Our community assistants give the care, respect and love our core community members deserve.
Our core members through their own gifts are the heart of L’Arche-GWDC. By sharing life with them we realize that accepting each other’s gifts is when we fully become human.
We invite and humbly request that you to bring your gifts to L’Arche. And join us at our table.
Thank you, friends, for sharing your gifts.
We welcome Francis Damien Smith to Highland Street home
and say good-by to Linda Garcia, a loving family member of Highland Street home.
Fr. Thomas P. Gaunt, SJ, Board President
Over the past year, we have celebrated bir thdays, anniversaries, holidays and farewells. We also welcomed new assistants, and national and international visitors.

• L’Arche-GWDC hosted a book signing for Tim Shriver’s book, Fully Alive at the French Embassy.
• Fritz Schloss received an award for twenty-five years of service to Arlington County ensuring that all county vehicles are sparkling clean!
• In September, the United States Department of State International Visitor Leadership Program invited people from eight different countries to meet at L’Arche-GWDC Highland House to discuss the intersection of faith and service.

A community is made up of different members belonging to one another. Our communities could not be possible without the special care, love and dedication of our assistants. They too come to us with their strengths and weaknesses. Yet they are called to serve, to provide personal care, to administer medications and to prepare meals that meet many different diets and requirements.
They schedule doctor appointments and provide transportation to and from the appointments. They help with finances, manage budgets, and take care of sundry household duties. They accomplish all of this with tenderness and care.
This is not a job to our assistants, it’s what one does for family.

L’Arche advocates with people who have intellectual disabilities for the rights and dignity they deserve.
• In January, L’Arche advocates Charles Clark, Eva-Elizabeth Chisholm, and Yuko Gruber joined a contingent from the Arc of Northern Virginia to visit representatives in Richmond to ask for their support. Specifically, the group was asking for additional Medicaid Waiver “slots” — and the funding to go with them—to help move people off wait lists.
• In June, a group from L’Arche Greater Washington DC and others from around the country visited Capitol Hill to meet with Senators and Congress people and their staff.
• We were invited to join members of Special Olympics and other organizations and advocacy groups at the White House reception in July marking the 25th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
