About our Community
Founded in 1978, L’Arche Genesaret was the first L’Arche community to be established in Australia. We celebrated our 40th anniversary in 2018 with a clear direction to welcome new people – with and without an intellectual disability – into our community life. We are an intentional community in the Christian tradition, respecting and welcoming people of all faiths and different beliefs. Our name “Genesaret” is a place name from the Gospels and signifies our Community in Canberra as a place of life, faith and healing. Each person is encouraged to discover and share their unique gifts and grow in love, self-giving and wholeness.
