Nearly 80 women served by Catholic Charities of Philadelphia’s (CCoP) Housing and Homeless Services Division visited Malvern Retreat House July 1-2 for the 10th annual Dorothy Day, Servant of God, Women’s Retreat. Dorothy Day, an American journalist and Catholic social activist, was known for her strong defense of the most vulnerable, including those experiencing homelessness.
Hosted by CCoP, the two-day retreat included a broad spectrum of activities such as speaker sessions, musical performances, arts and crafts, a late-night movie with popcorn, and an ice cream sundae party. Attendees also participated in a pining ceremony, receiving a pin from members of the CCoP and Malvern leadership teams symbolizing that they are always welcome at the Dorothy Day Women’s Retreat.
