Celebrate the Spirit of L'Arche

Each year, L'Arche Portland celebrates the Spirit of L'Arche by honoring an individual or group with a special Spirit of L'Arche award to recognize their exceptional impact on our community and in the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Your donations to our Spirit of L'Arche campaign allow us to continue our mission of building relationships and community between individuals with and without intellectual disabilities.

On April 15th, we honored Peter Lax as our individual Spirit of L'Arche Award recipient. Watch the full award presentation and interview here.

On April 22nd, we honored Self Advocates Taking Action as our group Spirit of L'Arche Award recipient. Watch the full award presentation and interview here.
