L´Arche Benediktus community

Benediktus is a community of people with and without intellectual disabilities who live their daily lives in mutual fellowship. Through relationships rooted in trust in God, we discover the uniqueness of every person and want to live life in its fullness. Everyone has their own unique gifts with which they can enrich the lives of others. Everyone at Benediktus bears a share of responsibility for what we create together, and has a place where s/he can grow and develop. We rejoice in the fact that together we can create great things of lasting value, and we do not keep them to ourselves. Perhaps you have already experienced some of this firsthand with us :-)

Life at Benediktus involves many needs for which it is not easy to obtain sufficient resources. For example, fair wages for assistants, routine operating costs and services (energy, workshop materials, hygiene and cleaning supplies and other miscellaneous purchases, promotional services, insurances) as well as various extraordinary expenses (car and equipment repairs, presentations with clients about our work for schools).

Would you like to be at least a little part of what we live and create?

Would you consider donating the cost of one lunch to us each month? Or even more?

Benediktus is a colorful place. The resources that make it possible are also very diverse. We earn some of the money ourselves, but for most of our funding, we depend on others. Grants for providing services are a significant form of state support, but they are not enough to cover all the needs of our day-to-day operations. And we also don’t know throughout the year how much money will ultimately be allocated to us. The Vysočina Region has so far tried to support our services fairly. Nevertheless, we are weighed down by uncertainty about how we will actually manage to keep things running in the coming months and years.

Your regular support gives us stability.

Become a pillar of Benediktus! Be part of the solid foundation on which all the fullness of life can grow and flourish! And spread further…

We are like a garden into which water flows through many small hoses and also through one large hose, from which, however, the flow depends on the dam operator's decision. We haven’t been idle and over the years we’ve created our own little pond for watering (revenue from products, services, and rentals). And we’ll keep expanding it as long as our strength holds out. Nevertheless, what we are creating here will always largely depend on the support of others. That is why, together with you, we need to lay down more small hoses so that we don’t have to worry about new dam operators and can be more confident that we’ll be able to water all the life that grows here.

Will you please join the circle of friends we can rely on?

We look forward to the new fruits we’ll be able to create because of you!

Thank you!
