Heading south to experience L’Arche in Mexico
Many might be confused by the picture of Doug and me that
you see here as the Sombrero is the typical sending hat for those leaving the
Farm. We are leaving, with the plan to
return after we have headed to our twinned community in Querétaro Mexico. Our pilgrimage is part of many events throughout
the world celebrating the Jubilee of L’Arche.
Doug and I were chosen to be part of a delegation from the Western Region
that will travel in early October to share in community life. We will be traveling
with Patty McNally our Regional Coordinator and Todd Rothrock a board member
from L’Arche in Spokane. Visiting the
community of Querétaro we will spend time helping out in their workshop and
possibly sometime in the dirt helping to enliven their efforts of gardening. We both are excited to enjoy all the cultural
and geographic sites the City has to offer. We have also planned to assist in announcing
L’Arche in the City of Querétaro through a number of events as well taking time
to join them in a mass held in honor of the L’Arche Jubilee
We are both excited and blessed to be sent as representatives
of the Western Region of L’Arche. We hope
you are able to follow our adventures through our website as well as come by
the Farm during Harvest Fest Saturday October 8th to see pictures
and hear about all that we will have experienced and brought back from this
opportunity. There is a strong desire to increase solidarity of all communities
by opportunities like this. In late spring of 2015 there is a plan for a group
form Querétaro will be able to visit and enjoy different parts of our community
as well.
