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 married couples starting on Friday evening and ending on Sunday morning. Hosted in the beautiful McShain-Horstmann Family Life Center, the married couples retreats are directed by seasoned Catholic retreat directors.  Each weekend is comprised of a schedule which includes talks on relationships and spirituality, liturgies, Reconciliation, adoration and quiet time.  You may choose to spend quiet time taking a walk together, 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!  It’s an a la carte retreat. Your spouse does not need to be Catholic to participate in a retreat. Non-Catholics are always welcome! Even if you have never made a retreat before as a married couple, pray about a weekend with your spouse. Make a decision today by calling 610-644-0400 or registering online for a retreat.
