Our Spirituality

L’Arche Seattle was founded through our local Catholic faith communities. Today we are an ecumenical, multi-spiritual, and interfaith community and we respect and celebrate all religious, secular, and spiritual identities.

I was fed while at L’Arche—mind, body and soul. It strengthened my faith in self, earth and God—in creation. I am thankful for these lessons, these things L’Arche brought out of me. My time in community was a gift and a blessing…

– Chris Porter, former L’Arche Assistant

Loving, compassionate, and forgiving relationships are at the heart of the L’Arche Noah Sealth community. We rejoice and give thanks for every community member, knowing that each life is a unique gift.
