L'Arche Sydney News
As part of our preparation for Easter, following a L’Arche tradition of re-enacting the Washing of the Feet, we met together at our Campsie house for prayer and the opportunity to wash each other’s feet in a spirit of love and service. After the liturgy, we shared a simple meal together, celebrated a birthday and enjoyed each other’s company. |

On the first Tuesday of every month, Associate members and friends of L’Arche Sydney reflect on Jean Vanier’s DVD series “Knowing Eternity” in the office. A small group of faithful people have formed and are competently led through the reflection by Pat Slinn, a long term member of L’Arche Sydney. All who attend are discovering something new about spirituality, the Gospel of John and themselves. |

On 29th March, Joseph and Matthias from our Merrylands house and Donna Rhall our Community Leader, attended a Mass at Hunters Hill to help celebrate 50 years of service for Sr Marie. Sr Marie was instrumental in supporting our Community to obtain our house at Merrylands over 20 years ago and has remained a good friend to us all this time. Congratulations Sr Marie!

Core members and assistants from our homes flew to Hobart for a community holiday in January. The Beni Abbes community welcomed us into their community houses as they were away on their own holiday. There were many outings including bushwalking, Salamanca Markets, Port Arthur, a cruise and of course the mandatory cups of tea and cappuccinos in the many local cafes. It was a great time for everyone.

| Each year L’Arche Sydney Community members gather together to share a Christmas lunch, the Christmas play and exchange gifts with one another. St Paul’s Anglican Church hall at Burwood welcomed us once again for day of carols, good food and lots of fun and laughter as we re-enacted the Christmas story. |

L’Arche Sydney Community gathered together at the Schoenstadt Sisters retreat centre in Mulgoa for their annual Community Weekend. The theme of the weekend was “Called to Serve”. During the weekend we prayed, ate, celebrated and talked about what it meant to serve. On the Sunday morning, each of us was invited to renew our membership to L’Arche Sydney in a very moving liturgy.
