INFORMATION and REGISTRATION
Malvern Women's Retreat at the Malvern Retreat Family Life Center, Malvern PA
JANUARY 6-8, 2023
REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE ON FRI. DEC. 23rd.
We are very happy to announce that Father Dan will be giving another Women's Retreat: January 6-8, 2023 - at the McShain Horstmann Family Life Center, Malvern PA - with the SAME THEME as the October retreat: They Knew Him in the Breaking of the Bread. We had many women on the Waiting List for the October Retreat, and after receiving such positive feedback from October, Father opted to offer the same amazing theme again in January so that many more women could experience it! We are blessed!
The Family Life Center is on the same campus as the Malvern Retreat Center. (www.MalvernRetreat.com) It is a stand-alone facility which was built in the early 2000s with its own Chapel, Dining Hall, and Meeting Room(s). All of the bedrooms are double-occupancy rooms (2 beds) with a private attached bathroom (sink, toilet, shower) - similar to a hotel room. There are 47 rooms available to us in the Family Life Center to accommodate a total of 94 retreatants. A handful of the rooms are handicap-accessible. All of the rooms are on the ground floor.
If we fill the Family Life Center, we have the option of spilling-over into the Corrigan Building, which would be a short drive away (all on the same campus). The Corrigan Rooms are single rooms with sink only (toilet and stall shower facilities on each wing). The Corrigan Building does not have any handicap-accessible rooms and does not have an elevator.
NEW! Note: Due to this being a new venue for us, and a much smaller venue than what we are used to, we regret that we will not be able to accommodate nursing infants on this retreat.
The minimum age for this retreat is 18.
Some considerations ...
Payment (in full) will be due at Registration. The cost will be $245 per person for the Family Life Center (double occupancy) and $240 for Corrigan (single occupancy).
We will be filling the Family Life Center (FLC) first (all double rooms), and, once filled, will temporarily halt Registrations in order to update the website. Then we will open Registration for Corrigan.
When registering for the FLC, you will have the option of requesting your roommate BY NAME. If you do not request a roommate, OR if your roommate does not make the "cut", we will randomly assign a roommate to you from our list of registered women. Note: If you DO have a roommate in mind, BOTH OF YOU MUST REGISTER INDIVIDUALLY and should request each other BY NAME in the appropriate field. We encourage you both to register (INDIVIDUALLY) at the same time, to increase your chance of both getting into the FLC. (Please note: If you get into the FLC but your preferred roommate does not, you will be assigned a random roommate from the list of registered women. You will not have the option of moving from the FLC to Corrigan, for example. Hopefully this makes sense ... !)
We will not have access to any other buildings on campus during the weekend. Other groups will be utilizing the 2 Main Chapels (St. Joseph's and Our Lady's), the McShain Conference Center, main Dining Hall, and the 3 remaining dorms (St. Joseph's, IC, and Assumption). ALL of our meals, talks, Masses, Adoration, etc., will take place in the FLC building.
There will be NO REFUNDS:
Please keep in mind that January weather in PA is COLD and potentially snowy or icy. Malvern will definitely work with us if there is a big snowstorm, but they typically do not cancel retreats unless the weather is exceptionally hazardous for driving. If you are at all nervous about driving in inclement weather, please consider whether you will be able to commit to this particular retreat.
We have limited $100 scholarships available for newbies! - that is, anyone who has not been on an overnight retreat with Father Dan previously. Please email [email protected] if you are in need of financial assistance!
ALL of our communication will be via email. Please make sure your email account is set to receive emails from us! We cannot be responsible for any emails from us which end up in your SPAM.
We are very excited to be hosting another women's retreat with Father Dan!
If this isn't the retreat for you - please SAVE THE DATE for the October Retreat with Father Dan and Father Larry Swink!! October 6-8, 2023!

There will be NO REFUNDS:
- If you need to cancel your registration, you will be responsible for finding a replacement and emailing your replacement's contact info to us no later than Monday, January 2 so that she can be properly identified, registered, and added to our Master Roster.
- Due to the holidays and the back-to-back turnaround of events, we will not be maintaining a Waiting List.
- Also, unfortunately, we cannot accept any "walk-in" replacements (i.e., "my friend Sue got sick last night and I am here in her place"). Malvern requires us to submit a complete and accurate Headcount and Roster with name, address, phone #, and rooming assignment several days prior to the retreat. This is in case of emergency and is for our safety.
