L’Arche@UP is a long-standing gathering of University of Portland (UP) students and adults with and without intellectual disabilities in the Portland metro area. It is a space to build relationship across difference and explore spiritual meaning together.
We’ll kick off the school year by bringing in the founder of the REX / L’Arche@UP tradition / partnership, Dorothy Coughlin, to share stories about the “early days” of REX (L’Arche@UP’s original name)!
She’ll share why and how the early REX partners came together, and some of the highlights and antics from over the years. …Wild camping trips, broken down vans – and beautiful personal growth.
We’ll have light snacks available for our conversation at Saint Mary’s Lounge.
Saint Mary’s Lounge is located on the University of Portland (UP) campus, near the Chapel and Bell Tower.
Accessible parking is available in the lot between St. Mary’s and the Chapel.
Others are asked to park in the big parking lot by the sports fields.
Please RSVP to rsvp@larche-portland.org, to help us plan snacks, chairs, and access needs accordingly. …Please let us know about any dietary restrictions or other ways we can help you participate fully!
