New Community Leader for L’Arche Mauricie

Posted 2021-02-05

We are pleased to announce that Nancy Lamothe is beginning a new chapter in her life at L’Arche.

Nancy writes: 

After spending 14 years in L'Arche Agape, the land of welcome in my role as community leader, I am happy to return to L'Arche Mauricie as the new community leader. It was in this community that I first became acquainted with L'Arche in the late 1990s. It is a return to my roots. With this move, Claude and I and the children are going to get closer to our respective families. Guess how happy grandpa and grandma are!  At the end of February, with a big heart, I will leave this beautiful community that is L'Agapè. This community that gave me the immense opportunity to become who I am in this very privileged role. I am immensely grateful for all the work I have done, and even more so, for continuing my journey with L'Arche towards new challenges in Mauricie!
