One of the most prominent members of the local L’Arche community was Henri Nouwen (1932-1996). Nouwen was a Dutch Catholic priest who spent much of his life teaching at major American universities, before coming to L’Arche Daybreak as pastor in 1986.
This exhibit features material from Henri Nouwen’s letters, journals, and photos— which are held at the Kelly Library— and personal quotations to tell the story of his journey to and his life at L’Arche Daybreak.
