No registration needed, Contact Nicky at email below with any questions. If you have any special needs please be sure to include with your registration, we will try to accommodate as many special requests as possible. Retreat Conferences will be based on exploring the liturgy of the Mass, and how specific parts of the liturgy can lead us to a more intimate encounter with Christ. In this Encounter, we can experience healing from different wounds, sins and struggles that we face, and ultimately be transformed into His image and likeness.

A Vibrant Center for Spiritual Renewal & Formation

All who set foot on our grounds are immediately touched by the peace and beauty they find. A retreat for women includes conferences, mass, adoration and much more. Join us this summer for a spirit filled weekend directed by Fr. The retreat will include conferences, Mass, Eucharist, Confessions, Adoration, and time for reflection, on the beautiful grounds of Malvern Retreat House. Registered retreatants will be housed in Our Lady’s Hall, St. Joseph’s Hall or Corrigan Hall in single rooms with shared bathrooms on each floor (dormitory style). Rooted in the Catholic Faith, we provide retreats, programs, and events that help people deepen their relationship with God and find peace and healing.

Our solution is to use the Matt Talbot spiritual retreat weekend to find how to utilize the tools suggested in the Twelve Steps. Our retreats offer conferences, discussion group break-out sessions, discussion & speaker meetings, one-on-ones, and the Celebration of the Eucharist. The Matt Talbot Retreats are non-denominational, ecumenical, and are spiritual, rather than specifically religious. No matter what your spiritual needs may be, there is a place for you at Malvern Retreat House. Our 250 annual retreats, reflections, and special events are each designed to provide transformative experiences, solid formation and spiritual healing for all levels of your faith journey. While retreats and reflections are at the heart of what we do, Malvern Retreat House has much more to offer.

Corrigan Hall, named in honor of Malvern Retreat House’s first retreat master, Monsignor Joseph M. Corrigan, offers retreatants a peaceful space of reflection to return to each evening. This hall provides overnight guests with individual bedrooms furnished with a single bed, sink, mirror, desk, chair and clothes rack.
