A fall retreat for single Catholics — rest, pray, and be held in God's peace.
November 12–15, 2026
St. Mary of Providence · Elverson, Pennsylvania
St. Mary of Providence Retreat Center
"Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6–7
You carry more than you set down. The worries you hand to God and quietly pick back up. The weight that's just yours to hold.
Three days to lay it down — to rest, to pray, and to let the peace of God guard your heart, with single Catholics who understand.
No agenda to rush through. No pressure to perform. Just space to slow down, breathe, and let God's peace do what it promises — guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Through Mass, Adoration, guided reflection, and quiet time, you'll bring your whole self before God — your worries, your hopes, your questions. And with nothing to manage and nowhere to be, your heart stops bracing.
One of the most unexpected gifts of a retreat like this is finding yourself among people who understand — really understand — the life you're living. No explaining yourself. No awkward small talk. Just the ease of being with fellow single Catholics who share your faith, your questions, and your desire to grow closer to God.
Gather around the table in the historic mansion for unhurried meals and easy conversation.
Explore the grounds, find a quiet bench, or take a walk with someone new.
The kind of connection that forms when people are honest, present, and rooted in the same faith.
"You don't have to explain your life here.
You'll find people who already understand."
An hour outside Philadelphia, in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania, St. Mary of Providence sits on rolling acres with two chapels, walking trails, and a historic mansion where we'll share our meals. A full retreat center, further accommodations, and extensive outdoor grounds — a perfect place to encounter God, rest in His peace, and enjoy the beauty of fall.
You'll leave encouraged in your walk with Christ and connected to people in a way that rarely happens at a parish event. And the peace God gives you here follows you home — into how you love, and whatever He has next for you.
