Ave
Maria Singles Retreat
June 26-30, 2008
Theme - "The Facts about Catholic Men" (for men AND for women)
NOTICE: Retreat begins at 6 PM on Thursday
6/26 (check in starting at 5 PM), and ends by noon on Sunday.
 Join
us in the beautiful grounds of Malvern Retreat House
in Pennsylvania (just outside of Philadelphia) for a life-changing
weekend filled with teaching, prayer, fun and socialization.
The focus of the retreat is on understanding the Catholic man, from both the male and female point of view. Men and women will have talks separated as well as together. The objective is to help Catholic men and women understand issues and misunderstandings regarding men. We will be using themes from Road To Cana,
the marriage readiness program created by AMS founder, Anthony Buono, and the experiences of the apostolate "The Kings Men", founed by Mark Houck and Damian Wargo.
