Welcome
L’Arche is on the move! Together we are walking towards IFA2023, preparing for this exciting moment. Since IFA Belfast, in 2017, nothing has stood still! Great highs, sad lows. But we are coming through it together, stronger.
This is what has inspired the theme of IFA2023:
THANK YOU to all the delegates for your time and energy.
I wish all L’Arche members a good journey, supporting each other on the road to the Assembly.
Please advertise this through #Larche2023
Uganda Delegates
Hi! from L’Arche Uganda’s community delegates - Wanyama Edward, Community Leader and Nagaddya Monica, live-in core member.
We are super-excited to see you all this time as we Zoom around the world.
We are preparing by seeking the views of our community members. Having missed the last FA, we are especially looking forward to meeting other delegates and sharing our community’s voice on the new Mandate and Charter.
Our happiness is experiencing IFA 2023 while at the same time staying in our community.
Our one concern is our poor network connection!

Each month till June, our newsletters will update you, and share how communities are preparing for the big event – now just 4 months away!
As Coordinator of Communications, I will be happy to receive and share news from us all. Please post a picture of your Community Delegates wearing yellow T-Shirts on L’Arche members Facebook page!
Worldwide, L’Arche is on the move: individually, and with our communities, we are getting ready for the #Larche2023.
Let’s make it happen!

To get to know each other:
You can dress up in yellow tee and send a selfie to your buddies. Ask them to do the same.
You can send them picture of your community.
Do you speak the same language? If not, ask them how they say “hello” in their language and teach them ‘hello’ in yours.

Hi from Luciana Crucillo Cleto (core member) and Richard Gómez (assistant) in L’Arche Brazil.
How does it feel to be delegates?
Great responsibility! We are spokespersons for very important information and issues. But we will work together to carry out this mission.
Preparations for IFA 2023?
No preparations yet due to lack of time. But we have plans! And will present this event to our community so that ideas can emerge.
Expectations?
That the reflections and training will transform us to become human beings of Listening.
