Welcome to MALVERN
"Created for the praise and glory of God." St. Ignatius Loyola
 
 
new malvern logoWhat our new
logo symbolizes

The beautiful symbolism of the Cross and the Wheat has rich theological meaning. In the Eucharistic sacrifice, we say that Jesus shares in our humanity as we share in His Divinity through the Bread of Life. Jesus is the Cross touching each man and woman through suffering and resurrection. We are the wheat reaching up to the Cross.

Celebrating 100 years of Catholic Lay Leadership in 2012

Our organization began in 1912 when investment banker John J. Ferreck met with the Rector of St. Charles Seminary to plan for weekend retreats by laymen.
 
To mark the 100th anniversary, Anniversary Chairman John Kozakowski is leading the team of Board members and Malvern Retreat House staff to plan the year-long series of events.

Owned and operated by Catholic laity, Malvern Retreat House serves the spiritual needs of men, women, teens, families, married couples, religious and clergy.

It is also a place where people of Christian denominations may discern, strengthen and renew their personal relationship with Jesus Christ, self and others. Malvern Retreat House, founded in 1912, is the largest and second-oldest Catholic retreat house in the U.S. This spiritual sanctuary on 125 acres of wooded countryside hosts more than 20,000 annually. We accommodate 400 overnight with private rooms, two chapels, five oratories, a large conference center and a dining hall in the Main Retreat House. The McShain-Horstmann Family Life Center contains 50 private rooms, a conference center and dining hall. All first-floor rooms are handicap-accessible.

If you're looking for a Catholic spiritual getaway, make Malvern Retreat House your prayerful destination of choice.

The Malvern Blog

Prompted by her vow, Mother Teresa of Calcutta developed the habit of responding immediately to the demands of the ‘present moment.’ She would insist that “it isn’t important to look for big things, just do small things with great love... The smaller the thing, the greater must be our love.”

In an effort to respond to the demands of the ‘present moment,’ Malvern Retreat House is now offering you an opportunity to share your thoughts, creative ideas and simple testimonies of faith experienced during a retreat... welcome to the Malvern Retreat Blog! Whether you are thinking about making a retreat for the first time, you are returning for a yearly retreat or, if you are searching for hope in the midst of your daily trials, allow this blog to be your “springboard of hope.” If you are a CA Captain, a recruiter or an individual seeking to enhance the retreat experience at Malvern, this is your place to communicate with all of us.

Share ideas, stories, reflections and practical tips with us in making a Malvern Retreat House retreat a life-changing experience. Post your comments today!
