Come to the quiet

Share in the tranquility, peace and blessings of this Catholic retreat house nestled in the woods.  Malvern Retreat House is known for its Catholic retreats for men, women, families, married couples, youth, religious and clergy starting on Friday evening and ending on Sunday morning. Many of our retreats are hosted in the beautiful McShain-Horstmann Family Life Center, directed by seasoned Catholic retreat directors. Unlike the Main Retreat House, the schedule is customized for each retreat. Special talks, liturgies, Reconciliation, adoration and quiet time are provided according to the desires of the retreat director.  You may choose to spend quiet time taking a walk, praying the Stations of the Cross on our newly dedicated path, sitting on a cedar bench in the meditation garden or, participating in the retreat schedule.  The choice is yours!  You may choose to come alone or, if you desire, bring a loved one, friend or neighbor.

Catholic Sexual Ethics

Taught by Dr. Janet Smith with special lectures by Christopher West, the week long retreat includes: Five days of learning and interactive lecture, daily Mass, Eucharistic adoration, Reconciliation and quiet time.  Based on the classic book by the late Pope John Paul II, Love and Responsibility, this course will examine the philosophy of the human person and human sexuality that undergirds John Paul II's theology of the body.  Themes will include the meaning of the personalistic norm, sexual attraction as the raw material of love, male and female differences, conscious parenthood, shame, and the true nature of chastity as a virtue.

Hosted in The Family Life Center.
