Emmaus Centre
About this resource
Emmaus is a place of welcome and belonging. Relationships are built through meaningful, recreational, artistic and social activities. A friendly atmosphere is provided where everyone feels valued.
While activities are often conducted in small group settings, the program adapts to each person’s particular situation. True to the vision of L’Arche, each person is seen as unique and with gifts to offer. These gifts are discovered, gently brought forth and celebrated.
Other important aspects of the program are services offered to the L’Arche community, as well as outreach activities in the wider community.
