PRESS RELEASE: L'Arche releases independent report into the abusive practices of founder Jean Vanier

Investigation answers L'Arche's questions about founder's abuse.

L'Arche International released a years-long report from an independent, interdisciplinary commission of French researchers which validates the testimonies of 25 women, without intellectual disabilities, against Jean Vanier who, as part of a sectarian group led by Vanier's spiritual mentor, Father Thomas Philippe, identified people seeking spiritual guidance and exploited them for sexual purposes. Read L'Arche Canada's full press release and access the report.

L’Arche Lethbridge (Alberta, Canada) provides an extraordinary opportunity for men and women from around the world with and without developmental disabilities to share, live, work, and learn together. Many local people participate in the life of our community as committed friends and respite workers. Sharing life with individuals with developmental disabilities at L’Arche is a counter-cultural life-style choice. It is a choice to share in the incredible gifts of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Together we discover depths of joy, freedom, and love, and the incredible beauty of each person regardless of intellectual capacity.
