We embrace the gifts of people with intellectual disabilities and share life in communities centered on faith, compassion, and the true value of each individual Welcome to the one and only Official Facebook page of L'Arche Wavecrest in Orange County, CA. L'Arche is an intentional and inclusive community, grounded in spirituality, that celebrates, respects and welcomes the diversity of everyone's gifts: joy, dignity, love, compassion, and hope. We are people, with and without intellectual disabilities, sharing life in communities belonging to an International Federation. L'Arche Wavecrest's mission is twofold: to create vital, healthy, spiritually rich homes for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and to build relationships that integrate the lives and gifts of individuals with IDD within all sectors of the wider community. Such integration infuses civil society with true human values.
