✨ L’Arche Light Festival 2026 ✨

This year’s theme is Sharing Life, Discovering Meaning 🌍💙

The Light Festival began in 2020 as a way for L’Arche communities around the world to stay connected. Today, it continues to bring us together in joy, hope and friendship.

This year, the L’Arche Light Festival will be celebrated on 16 October 2026, and each community is invited to join the celebrations in their own way. 🕯️

A beautiful reminder of the meaning we discover when we share life together.
