Malvern Retreat house is the largest catholic retreat house in the world and hosts over 20,000 retreatants every year. My grandfather took me there in 1995 and I will never forget getting out of the car and my grandfather giving me a great big hug and saying, "Welcome To Malvern". That weekend retreat in the summer of 1995 changed my soul and I have been back to Malvern every year for a weekend retreat since. The retreat house president, Jim Fitzsimmons, has been leading the retreat house into the 21st century. During this time, while many other retreat houses have failed to survive, I feel that Malvern has flourished. The retreat house is constantly being improved and the grounds are always kept immaculate. Also, the retreat house has invested wisely in the future and has built an additional building to host family retreats called the Family Life Center. I am proud to be a "Man of Malvern" and I always look forward to going to Malvern every year. It is a place of spiritual renewal and magical place where the Lord speaks to those. I encourage any donors that are considering large gifts to listen to your heart and give to Malvern so that this special holy place can continue for generations to come.

Best Regards and God Bless,
