A Beautiful Day

Last weekend Malvern Retreat House welcomed SoulCore and Peak Encounter Ministries for a truly blessed day. SoulCore was here for an overnight retreat. SoulCore is a movement that pairs core strengthening, stretching and functional movement with the prayers of the rosary. And, Peak Encounter is a ministry that organizes and leads hiking excursions and other outdoor experiences that integrate prayer, contemplation, and reflection while encouraging people to encounter God in his creation. The two groups came together on Saturday for what was called "Walk the Path of Mary: A Pilgrimage in God's Creation." It was a huge success! Father Jim offered Mass and the retreatants experienced a day of reflection, prayer and healing. We look forward to building upon this event and working with both organizations to develop and bring more retreats and programs like these to the Malvern community.

The Rosary

October is the month of the Rosary. This traditional devotion is so important. Padre Pio once said "Love the Madonna and pray the rosary, for her rosary is the weapon against the evils of the world today. All graces given by God pass through the Blessed Mother.” Certainly today the Rosary can guide us through hard times, bring us closer to God and our families, and restore peace in our hearts. The grounds of the retreat house are beautiful this time of year and we invite visitors to walk the grounds and pray the Rosary!

"Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with you!"
