Just Married
By John Tinio
Family isn’t bound by blood. They say you
will find it in a place where people love you
and take good care of you. It doesn’t matter
where you come from, no matter the color of
your skin or what language you speak; you’ll
find family where people appreciate you.
th
On July 4 , two love birds in our community
decided to tie the knot and be a family in the
eyes of God and all of us. Jochen and
Cassandra met in L’Arche years ago and fell
in love with each other and the rest, as they
say, “is history”.
The special event was held in the St. FX
Chapel and attended by their loving family
and friends. After the wedding, everyone
gathered at the reception in St. Ninian’s
Place, where everyone truly enjoyed the
speeches and the savory, delicious meal and
dessert.
Jochen and Cassandra thanked everyone
who celebrated with them on their most
special day. They both look forward, as do
we, their friends and community, to the next
steps in the adventure of married life!
Tommy Landry is not only a dear friend to
them; he was their ring bearer at their
ceremony. Most importantly though, the
couple met through Tommy, so it was fitting
and special that the take away gifts at the
reception were bookmarks handcrafted with
Tommy’s paper and decorated flowers.
Thank you, Cassandra and Jochen, for
sharing the beautiful celebration of your love
with all of us from L’Arche!!!
A big thank you to Raymond Teasdale
and his family for the donation
of this beautiful piano to Jubilee.
Also to Hannes's parents for covering the
cost to move the piano and have it tuned.

Don’t be Afraid of Change
By Natalie Cameron
One thing I have learned in L’Arche is
that change is constant.
Over the past six months we have had
many changes in our community. Beth
Wolters become the new community
leader; she is doing a wonderful job in
discovering and learning the many
facets of her new role.
Debbie
Leuschner became the new program
leader of Cornerstone; it is a perfect fit
for Debbie as she brings her wealth of
experience to create a daytime home for
our elders. Jubilee welcomed Elizabeth
Abler to their home in February.
Elizabeth has been a friend of L’Arche
for many years and is excited to find a
place of belonging and to experience
community.
Eileen Garvie was
temporarily welcomed at Emmaus
house as she recovered from a broken
ankle. She was very grateful to have a
different experience in another home
and to have such a wonderful welcome.
Michael Boddy was very gracious to
temporarily move from Dixie to
Covenant as we needed a down stairs
room for Matthew to recover after
surgery. In April we said farewell to Jeff
Murray and Daniel MacDonald as they
continue on their journey of finding
independence. Angela Brosha moved
back to Antigonish in April and she
discovers L’Arche and community at
Emmaus house. We recently welcomed
Sachan Sarwal from Halifax who makes
his home at Dixie. We live a lot of
change in L’Arche and this encourages
new relationships to form and for
community to keep evolving to the
changing needs of everyone.
Regional Vacation to Newfoundland
By Mariya Pavlyukevych
It was an honor to be a part of the
vacation group to Newfoundland
together with Jocelyn and Krista
(L’Arche St. John), Tricia and Anna
(L’Arche Halifax) and Jonathan (L’Arche
Cape Breton). Michael and I represented
L’Arche Antigonish.
The first part of our trip was spent in
Calvert, generously welcomed by Jenn
Power’s family and parents. We enjoyed
a hike to LaManche, boat rides with
Jenn’s dad, a beach bonfire, BBQ, and
Lighthouse Picnic. We explored Petty
Harbor and Cape Spear along the way to
St. John’s. We had great time doing
some shopping and exploring downtown
St. John’s as well as walking around
Signal Hill. The second part of our trip,
we were kindly hosted by the families,
members of Cornerstone community in
St. John’s. Petra Sunner, David Buckley
and their son Anton, who became our
host family. Cornerstone community
organized a noontime BBQ and pool
party in our honor. During this event, we
were able to share our experience about
our life in L’Arche.
Welcoming Newfoundland presented us
with breathtaking beauty of nature and
kindhearted people who will stay in our
memory forever. We will continue to
keep Cornerstone community in our
prayers so one day they will be able to
open their first L’Arche home for people
who need it so much.

News from the L’Arche Foundation Board of Directors
By Janet Stark
In 2002, a group of
people formed The
L’Arche Antigonish
Foundation,
a
volunteer and nonprofit society. Its
main objective is to
gift funds to L’Arche Antigonish to be used to
assist people with intellectual disabilities
with their educational, recreational, spiritual
and living requirements. Over the years, the
Foundation has supported such things as the
assistance in the purchase of homes and
vehicles; the summer camp for youth in
Antigonish,
and
the
educational
opportunities for the assistants on their
retreats.
At its most recent Annual General Meeting in
May 2015, the members of the board elected
the following people for one year terms, and
chose those indicated as the executive:
Dr. Patsy Allan, Ms. Anne Chisholm, Mr. Bob
Day, Prof. Clare Fawcett, Mr. David Kearney,
Ms. Claire MacDonald, Ms. Mary MacInnis,
Secretary, Ms. Heather Murphy, Treasurer,
Ms. Janet Stark, President Mr. Stephen
Zwick, Ms. Beth Wolters (also serving on
board since becoming our community
leader).
The board acknowledged the tremendous
contributions and many years of service of
three members who retired from the board:
Dr. Minoli Amit, Mr. Gerard Lukeman, and
Ms. Mary MacDonald.
The members of the board anticipate a busy
year as it considers and responds to the
needs of all the members of L’Arche
Antigonish including the core members,
assistants, and staff.

MARY EILEEN’S RECIPE CORNER
By Carl MacDonald
Physical activity is one of the more effective
methods to improve our health, but can be a
challenge to include in our daily routines.
There are, however, some simple strategies
to increase physical activity with a little
planning. Here are a few:
•Go for a walk. If you need to run an errand,
consider walking instead of taking the car.
•Take the stairs. Climbing the stairs, rather
than using an elevator or escalator, doesn’t
add much time and gives a boost to our daily
workout.
•Park the car at the far end of the parking lot
when you go to the grocery store. Not only
will it add a few steps to your daily activity, it
may help to avoid parking lot dents, as there
will likely be fewer cars close by.
•Stand more often. Try to adapt activities so
that you are standing, rather than sitting.
Peel vegetables at the counter, rather than
sitting at a table, for example.
•Have a walking meeting. It gets away from
other distractions in the home or office and
allows both participants an opportunity for
undivided attention in a nonthreatening
environment. •Get outside. Weed the
flowerbeds, rake the lawn, trim the bushes,
anything to get outside and enjoy nature.
•Walk the dog. If you don’t have one, borrow
one. Maybe your neighbour would like to
have you provide Fido with a little extra
exercise.
•Make opportunities for “mini-workouts”.
You may not have time to get to the gym,
but you can do lifting exercises with a bag of
potatoes (or anything else in reach, and
within reason), use an office chair for
stretching exercises, or run up and down the
stairs while you’re waiting for the dryer to
finish.
Any increase in our physical activity will go a
long way towards improving our overall
health and wellbeing. This, combined with
good diet, adequate rest and support of
family, friends and professionals should help
to maintain optimal health.

A Word From the Community Leader
By Beth Wolters
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of
attending Cassandra and Jochen’s
wedding - aka The Wedding of the
Century.
On a beautiful sunny day they were
married at the St. F.X chapel and I got to
go with two of my favourite people –
Sara and Carroll. Carroll was sound
asleep when we arrived at the RK and he
hardly woke during the walk to the
chapel. We slipped into the side by the
organ and Carroll started a very gentle
snore. I was a little disappointed that
Carroll wasn’t more animated and it
made me sad that he is having more
days when he sleeps much of the time.
When the organ started Carroll would
stir slightly and his eyelids would flutter
but he only really woke as Jochen and
Cassandra exchanged rings. (He just
needed to be sure it really happened!)
As the register was being signed, Jochen
saw Carroll for the first time that day. A
smile filled his face, tears filled his eyes
and a few escaped. I could see Jochen’s
joy as he pointed Carroll out to
Cassandra. Carroll, small and fragile,
asleep in his wheelchair, yet still
breaking hearts open and filling them
with joy!
Unveiling of the Woven Cross
By Murray Gibson, http://people.stfx.ca/mgibson/
We gathered together on Wednesday May
th
20 to celebrate the installation of the
beautiful woven cross in the foyer of the
Clare Marie Gathering Place. We are very
pleased to present it to St Martha’s Regional
hospital, although it was originally intended
for the former L’Arche chapel.
The woven cross was created during 2011-12
in partnership between the folks and the
students in my Weaving Studio course in the
Art Department at StFX. The beauty of the
woven cross is not only in its final appearance
but is also deep within the fabric as a
reflection of its making.
The folks chose all the different colours for
the cross. My students learned how to draft
weaving patterns and they prepared the
table-top looms for weaving. The folks came
to the university studio for one hour each
week during the academic year. They worked
together with their student partner to weave
the colourful bands for the wall-hanging. All
the bands needed to make the cross were
finished by the end of the year. Students,
community volunteers, and the folks
gathered in the weaving studio to create the
cross.
Each woven band represents a partnership,
and the partners came to the front of the
studio and wove their band, over and under,
into the wall-hanging. As the cross came
together, band by band, the many colours
and patterns began to reflect the many
people – 45 in all – who came together during
the year and worked so diligently to achieve
our common goal.
The act of weaving together, to create
something of great beauty, is a very powerful
metaphor of building a strong and caring
community. Our cross is a symbol of our
deep Christian faith, and it is also a gift to the
people of Antigonish so that they may see
not only the beauty of the cross but also hear
the power of its message of communitybuilding.
In that moment, Carroll’s simple
presence allowed joy to grow. After the
service Carroll woke up and was full of
smiles as he met the newly married
couple. Jochen teased him for making
him cry and Carroll’s smile got bigger.
Pictures were taken and hugs given.
As Sara, Carroll and I walked back to
Carroll’s home, he went back to sleep.
He briefly opened his eyes and smiled at
me as I said good-bye and the gentle
snores began again. As I left, my heart
filled with gratitude for my teacher
Carroll and his reminder of the gift of
presence.
I hope your summer is filled with the joy
the presence of friends and family can
create.

L’Arche is a Part of Me and I Will Always be a Friend
By Nancy Marenick
On Tuesday, June 23rd, I attended my
last official Annual General Meeting
as a L’Arche Antigonish board
member. Although I was filled with a
mix of emotions, I focused on the
great memories and the wonderful
experiences I have had over the last
18 years as a member of L’Arche. In
those early years, I learned the
L’Arche terminology. For example,
the term core Member quickly had
an impact on me when I learned that
the core members are the centre of
every L’Arche home, the reason
L’Arche exists. L’Arche is built on
mutuality and example. In others
words, everyone, core members and
assistants, live together in a familytype setting. And I cannot emphasize
too much the importance of the
family model of care that was
instituted by Jean Vanier. The
L’Arche family model is sustained by
mutual respect and cooperation
since everyone contributes his or her
gifts to create a safe, happy and
nurturing
family
environment.
During those early years, I began to
discover what I could contribute to
the L’Arche family. I took over from
Hubert Spekkens as secretary, a job I
thoroughly enjoyed and did for more
years than I can remember. Later on
I served as Board Chair. In the early
years, we held our meetings
regularly in the dining room at
Covenant House, so we had an
opportunity to meet and chat with
some of the core members we were
there to serve. I also frequented the
top floor at Covenant House when
visiting the admin staff: Gus, Joan,
and Noreen. Everyone got some
exercise going up and down those
stairs.
We all lived through renovations,
floods, more renovations, financial
issues, and long, hard meetings with
the Department of Community
Services, but we survived and
enjoyed
community
nights,
gatherings, shared desserts and lots
of laughs together.
As
the
L’Arche
Antigonish
community grew, we welcomed new
core members, lots of assistants, and
we gained maturity and strength as a
community. We opened Emmaus
House, the chapel at Yeshua House.
In 2011 we opened Hope and Dixie,
and this past year several of our core
members moved from our original
home, Yeshua, into Jubilee House.
The seed of our day programs began
in the 90’s spearheaded by Sr. Jovita
MacPherson
and
later
John
Hamilton, who along with the
assistants and staff helped the core
members develop and expand their
talents. Today we see the results of
their ideas in Cornerstone, Horizons,
Hearts and Hands, and the Studio all
of which give value to the talents of
our core members.
Through our homes and the day
programs we have and continue to
build strong bonds within the
L’Arche community and the
community at large. L’Arche is an
integral part of Antigonish and most
of our members are well known in
town for their contributions. It is so
gratifying to see so many
townspeople who recognize and
accept the individual talents of our
core members.
We shared many welcomes and
farewells to assistants and core
members; we have had losses too,
such as core members Margie,
Dorothy, Sam, Miriam, and staff
members, Noreen, and assistants,
Aaron. Through all the good times
and bad, the core members, in
particular, always seem to handle
these changes with grace, patience,
and wisdom.
I served with many wonderful, giving
people on the Board. The current
Board has good, strong members
who will carry on the work of L’Arche
Antigonish. Today when we visit the
staff, it’s up one short flight of stairs
at Abelard (not like the third floor at
Covenant) to confer with Beth,
Natalie, Joan, Janette, or Carl. Times
have changed, people come and go,
and after 18 years it is time for me to
step away from the Board. L’Arche is
a part of me and I will always be a
friend.

Sowing Seeds!
A WORD FROM JEAN VANIER
By Peter Schenke
The Garden & Sustainability Group had started last
April. Since then we’ve met almost every week.
During the first few weeks, when it was still too
cold and too early to start the gardens outside, we
met inside at the Studio. I was happy to see that
there was so much interest and excitement about
gardening in the community.
During those first meetings we learned a bit about
the importance of gardening and its connection to
sustainability. We talked a little bit about the
history of human kind, foraging, hunting, early
gardening and farming and noticed some
differences to farming in our world today. We tried
to get a feeling for where we stand, as humans and
as community and what impact we, and todays
food production, might have on our environment.
With a feeling of excitement about the whole
project we started planning our gardening year.
Seeds, manure and tools had to be organized and
locations for gardens and crops had to be figured
out.
The first seeds were sowed inside. And finally
outside, too. Then we started rotating our
meetings, each week we met at another
house/program, to be able to prepare and sow and
plant all the gardening boxes and beds, we
planned to use.
During one of our meetings at Covenant House,
Chad gave a very professional and accessible talk
about composting and awakened the excitement
about composting in many of us. The plan for a
‘three bin compost system’ in the backyard of
covenant house was discussed.
Time went by fast. Our first plantings grew and
how beautiful was it to have the first harvesting
meeting.
Our first harvest was lots of lettuce and some
radish, more than enough for all the houses and
even for the Lobster supper at Joan’s the following
week. Since then, we have harvested more lettuce;
it seems to grow faster than we can eat it and
some peas, beans and cucumbers, too. The rest is
still growing. We are also waiting for tomatoes,
carrots, onions, garlic (we learned that we might
have planted the garlic too late), broccoli, beets,
potatoes, corn, more peas, beans, cucumbers and
lettuce.
The Covenant House compost bin system is now
under construction and the first bin is already in
use. Also the plastic compost bins of Emmaus,
Hope/Dixie and the Studio were made usable
again!
There are difficulties, too. Not everything grew
how we wished for it. Some gardening boxes had
to be replanted. For various reasons the first
plantings weren’t successful. And of course, weeds
are always growing, too!! Especially at Emmaus
and Dixie house they are growing fast, as a result
of the weed seeds from the last year. The rotation
meetings have their price and sometimes some of
the garden boxes fall out of sight. Lack of time to
care for the gardens in between the meetings and
during the vacations is reality, too. We are
learning.
But all in all we are very happy and proud, that
food is growing around our houses and programs
again and people are involved in growing it. This
year it might be not yet the amount of food we
grow that really makes a big difference for the
environment and the earth, by taking pressure off
the industrial food production chain and growing
and eating locally. But the interest people show
and the excitement about growing is definitely
making a difference in the community, the world
and the earth’s future. Sowing seeds. That’s what
we do!
This prayer is written by Jean’s sister, Therese,
when she was 80 years old. It is like a testament
that she has left for us.
May oppressed people and those who oppress
them, free each other.
May those who are handicapped and those who
think they are not, help each other.
May those who need someone to listen, touch
the hearts of those who are too busy.
May the homeless bring joy to those who open
their doors reluctantly.
May the lonely heal those who think they are
self‐sufficient.
May the poor melt the hearts of the rich.
May seekers of truth give life to those who are
satisfied that they have found it.
May the dying who do not wish to die be
comforted by those who find it hard to live.
May unloved be allowed to unlock the hearts of
those who cannot love.
May prisoners find true freedom and liberate
others from fear.
May those who sleep on the streets share their
gentleness with those who cannot understand
them.
May the hungry tear the veil from the eyes of
those who do not hunger after justice.
May those who live without hope, cleanse the
hearts of their brothers and sisters who are afraid
to live.
May the weak confound the strong and save
them.
May violence be overcome by compassion.
May violence be absorbed by men and women of
peace.
May violence succumb to those who are totally
vulnerable, that we may be healed.
Amen

Our Community Vacation
By Cassandra Quick
The home group this year consisted of
Tommy, Joe White, Mary Kathleen, Jochen,
Chuck (the first week), Adrian (the second
week) and Cassandra. During the first week
the folks still had their work programs. There
was a BBQ hosted at Horizons for all the
L'Arche groups in Antigonish. The second
week we went whale watching, were invited
to a BBQ at Carl's house with L'Arche
Toronto, went to visit Shubenacadie Wildlife
Park as well as went for lots of walks and out
for ice cream.
Also together with Tommy we visited Tom
Gilfoy.
By Hannes Maurer
Our group spent two amazing weeks in
Ontario. The first week we stayed at L’Arche
London, got to know life there and found
some new friends. The second week we went
on to Gamble House from L’Arche Toronto,
which kindly hosted us and gave us an
amazing place to stay. We went to Niagara
Falls admiring the beauty and magnificence
of it and went on the CN Tower, to get high
above Toronto’s numerous skyscrapers and
see the city from a bird’s perspective. Pretty
impressive and fascinating were also the
Museums (ROM and Science Center) and last
but certainly not least Toronto Zoo.
By Elizabeth Abler
I went on vacation with L’Arche for 2 weeks.
The people in my vacation group were
Jarrod, Angela, Heather, Olha, Udesh and
Katie. We went to Halifax and Wolfville. In
Halifax the group stayed at Mount St.
Vincent University. The highlight from
Halifax was the Harbour Hopper, a tour bus
that takes people around Halifax, it turns into
a boat that can go on the water as well. All of
us went to Peggy's Cove, where we got our
picture taken for a personalized post card
that will be a nice memento for years to
come. We went out to eat at a Japanese
Restaurant where I discovered how to eat
with chopsticks for the first time. During the
second week of vacation we went to
Wolfville. Some of the group stayed at a
L’Arche house called Emmaus house, the
assistants and core members who lived there
were very friendly and welcoming. We went
to the beach; the water in the bay was nice
and warm. My favourite part of our trip to
Wolfville was when all of us went to the
farm/zoo and my favourite animal was called
a Zonkey. A Zonkey is an animal that is part
Donkey and part Zebra. I really enjoyed my
L’Arche vacation. I can hardly wait until next
year!
By Chae Hyun Oh
Our vacation was wonderful. Nice place,
good food and fun activities. We could relax
and enjoy it all. And we could get to know
each other well at this time. We celebrated
birthdays of Joe MacPherson and Elizabeth
Boucher. It was an awesome experience for
us. Everyone was so happy about it. Thanks
for our group we were enjoying everything. I
cannot forget this time in my life.
By John Tinio
They say “Life is full of little journeys and all
about the people you will be with”. Our
group was composed of Woorim, Adrian,
Angus, Donny, Sachan, Matthew and yours
truly. We did lots of driving and scenic tours
around the Cape. We met and bonded with
people from L’Arche Cape Breton It was an
interesting, adventurous first week for us.
On the second week, we went to Halifax. We
enjoyed the great Busker festival. The group
also had fun in the big public gardens,
walking and playing around and bonding
with each other. The group was also thrilled
doing the buggy day tour in Lunenburg and
meeting the other vacation group in Halifax .
All in all, the group enjoyed and had fun for
this year's community vacation not just
because of the beautiful, outstanding,
adventurous, scenic drives and what the
gorgeous busy City can offer, but mainly
because of the people of the group itself. It's
all about the people that makes our lil’
journey in life, worth it.
