As we wrap up our Month of Mary at Malvern Retreat House, we give thanks for the peace, prayer, and inspiration found in the presence of our Blessed Mother. From quiet grottos to beloved shrines, Mary’s gentle invitation continues to lead hearts closer to her Son.

Can you guess where the rest of our Mary's are across campus? A few below you have seen but there are a few more that you haven't see unless you visited Campus. Whether you come for a day of reflection or attend a retreat, there is always a place for you here. 💙

St. Carlo Acutis reminds us: "Reciting the Rosary is the most important appointment of the day." Making the Rosary a cornerstone of your family life is a powerful way to bring peace, unity, and grace into your home.

Whether it’s a full Rosary or one decade, what matters is the time spent together in prayer. How can you and your loved ones incorporate this beautiful devotion into your week?

The Saint John’s Bible, we were given a rare and inspiring opportunity to see a copy of the St. John’s Bible and meet Fr. Erik Hollas who managed the initial project, which was to hand-scribe and illuminate the bible, in ink on vellum.
According to Fr. Erik, it took almost 16 years to complete the original bible and today printed editions have been donated throughout the world, including to Pope Francis.
We extend our gratitude to the Order of Malta for sharing the bible with us during their retreat and to St. Ann's Catholic Church in Washington DC for graciously allowing their copy to travel to the retreat house.
This is truly a rare opportunity to see the beauty, craftsmanship, and spiritual depth of The Saint John's Bible up close. To find more information on the bible: https://saintjohnsbible.org/how-it-was-created/

Moments with Mary during this beautiful Month of May. 🌸 From quiet prayers at the grotto to peaceful walks among the shrines, Mary reminds women, mothers, children, and families that they are always held in her loving care.

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” — Matthew 19:14

You can find Mary in the various chapels across campus when on retreat.

Heavenly Father, we pray for the souls of our fallen service members. Welcome them into Your eternal kingdom and comfort their families. May we always be grateful for their sacrifice and faithful in building a world of peace. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Malvern Retreat House was so pleased to work with the The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia to host the first Legacy Conference. Thank you to all who attended and to all who worked to make this a successful event.

Yesterday, we gathered at Malvern Retreat House for our inaugural Legacy Conference. It was a day rooted in prayer, reflection, and meaningful conversation about faith, family, and the future.

We are grateful to our presenters, panelists, sponsors, and all who joined us as we explored how Catholic values can shape the plans we make and the legacy we hope to carry forward.

Thank you to everyone who made this special day possible!
