Content Warnings
This collection contains in part content by and relating to Jean Vanier, Thomas Philippe, and M.D. (Marie-Dominique) Philippe. All three were credibly accused of sexually abusing many women (none with an intellectual disability) and the accusations were confirmed by the Study Commission convened by the International Federation of L’Arche Communities. Please see the linked report below. The University of St. Michael’s College and the International Federation of L’Arche Communities condemn the actions of these individuals and acknowledges the harm that resulted from them.

The International Federation of L’Arche Communities convened a Study Commission in 2020 to investigate the matter. Here are links to learn more about the commission and to read the published report from 2023:

The collections also contain outdated or offensive language which reflects theological and cultural thinking of the time or of individual speakers. This language does not reflect the opinions or position of the University of St. Michael’s College or the International Federation of L’Arche Communities.
