New Community Leader for L’Arche Outaouais (Agapè)

Posted 2021-02-05

We are pleased to announce that Frederico Gauchat will take on the role of Community Leader at L'Arche Outaouais (formerly Agapè).

Federico writes:

"Hola!

My name is Federico, Eco, Niko, Trico, Harico, Pickle, Fedi, Fredde, Fedebou, all names that I have received during my time in L'Arche. :)

I am originally from Argentina and it was by chance that I came to know L'Arche in Choluteca Honduras. From the very beginning, I felt attracted by the welcome, mutuality and friendly relationships.

After immigrating to Canada, I had the privilege of living as an assistant, housekeeper, assistants coordinator, volunteer and coordinator in L'Arche Montreal, Ottawa and Agapè.

Today, I am beginning a new stage as a community leader at L'Arche Outaouais (Agapè) with great enthusiasm, joy and humility. I am grateful to the selection committee for choosing me for this new adventure and I put my trust in God as my guide along the path we will take together. »
