Student Quotes...
"There is something so special and surprising about C.A.T.: It encompasses loving to the fullest extent. The people I have met, who have touched me and hopefully me inspiring them, is something I cannot compare to anything else. I have experienced God's love." - Alec Stimac '19
"I have done Labre a decent amount throughout my time here, however this year I have seen myself transform from a kid who would stand in the back and hand out food to the homeless to a person who would initiative conversations and be able to connect with our friends on the streets." - Ben Slater '20
"The core members at L'Arche have truly shown me what it is to be a loving person."
