Dear Community,
This evening's virtual prayer service will be an opportunity to share stories and prayers about and for Judi, who will be with us in spirit but not present on the call. The time for goodbyes has ended, and now we lift up Judi with our love as she prepares to go with God.

04/14/2026

Dear Community,

Thank you for your prayers and support over the past few days. As you sadly may know, Judi was involved in a tragic accident and remains in a coma and in critical condition.

Please join us for a virtual vigil in support of our beloved Judi at 6pm on Wednesday, April 15. We come together in faith, hope, and love to hold her in prayer.

All are welcome to gather for a time of prayer, shared stories, and singing as we lift Judi and all who love her.

A link to join the virtual vigil can be found on stories and in our Instagram bio.

May we continue to surround Judi with our prayers and trust in God’s presence and grace during this difficult time.

If you are interested in visiting Judi at Lahey Hospital, please contact Lauren Worthington at 978-806-6435.

We are so grateful for the incredible generosity of our community 🤍

A heartfelt thank you to Magic Barn, Melissa Marrama, and John Sorenson for the generous donation of spices and kitchen tools to our Culinary Program.

These gifts will be put to immediate use in our kitchen, helping us create, learn, and share meals together. Support like this makes such a meaningful difference in our daily life at L’Arche Boston North.

Thank you for thinking of us and for supporting our mission in such a tangible way.

WE DID IT and then some!🎉

Together, we raised $27,020.71 of our $25,000 goal, unlocking the full matching gift from Haverhill Bank 🙏🏼

We are deeply grateful by the outpouring of love from our L’Arche Boston North community. Thank you for believing in our mission of inclusion and for generously supporting our Culinary Vocational Training Program for adults with diverse abilities.

Every day in our kitchen, Core Members are building real-world skills… measuring, timing, teamwork, responsibility. These moments may look simple, but they are powerful. They build confidence. They build independence. And they are laying the groundwork for the future L’Arche Café, where these skills will be shared with the wider community.

Because of you and because every dollar was doubled… we are one step closer to opening the café doors, expanding training opportunities and sustaining this life-changing program for years to come.

Thank you for believing in what’s possible when people are given the support they need to thrive 💙

Kyle is part of the L’Arche Culinary Program, where he helps prepare meals and package hummus for the farmers market. His dream has always been to work in the food industry… and to do work that matters, alongside people he loves.

Kyle’s mom shared:

“The L’Arche Culinary Program has been a blessing for our family. Our son Kyle is very proud of the meals and hummus he helps prepare and sell. His dream has always been to work in food and with people. He loves to work, and he loves the L’Arche community.”

Because of supporters like you, we’ve raised $17,295.66 toward our $25,000 matching goal from Haverhill Bank.

✨ Every gift is still matched dollar for dollar… helping us keep the Culinary Program going and growing.

👉 Help us honor Kyle’s dream and unlock the full match.
