Overview...

Faith and Light is organised as meeting communities, gathering children, adolescents and adults with intellectual disabilities, their families and friends.

The members of each community meet regularly for times of celebration, sharing, friendship and prayer.

Faith and Light presently counts more than 1290 communities organized in 51 provinces located on five continents, in 86 countries and of 38 different languages. Two thirds of the countries where Faith and Light is present suffer from great economic difficulties or political instability.

Members of Faith and Light communities come from different Christian traditions, (catholic, protestants, anglican and orthodox...) without distinction of age, culture or income.

The Faith and Light’s international Head office and secretariat are in France and consist of only three employees. The life of the movement depends on numerous very active and generous volunteers.
