Ave Maria Singles Retreat
For Older Single Catholics
September 12-14, 2008

Join us in the beautiful grounds of Malvern Retreat House in Malvern, PA (just outside of Philadelphia) for a life-changing weekend filled with teaching, prayer, fun and socialization.

AMS Retreats are Unique
Some might say this sounds more like a conference than a retreat.  It is a "retreat with a socialization" component.  You get all the traditional spiritual elements of a retreat (daily Mass, formation talks, private Eucharistic Adoration, spiritual direction, time for Confessions, etc.).  But you also get a lot of free time and unique opportunities to socialize with and get to know the other single Catholics in attendance. An AMS retreat is an experience like no other, and one you MUST take part in to appreciate.  But isn't having music, a dance and the socialization contradictory to what a retreat is?   No.  In fact, it's the full circle of health, prayer and relating.  It's from the book of Ecclesiastes..." a time to pray...a time to work...a time to play, etc."

So don't miss this unique opportunity to share a long weekend with other single Catholics to learn, socialize, and grow in faith.
