MADE FOR MORE
Fatima August 2-10, 2010
with
Curtis Martin & Matthew Kelly
During the first week of August each year Matthew steps back from his busy schedule to spend time sharing his thoughts and insights in a more intimate setting. When asked why he makes this annual retreat in Fatima year after year, Matthew replies, “Fatima is a place where I get answers.”
In 2010, Matthew will be joined by his long time friend Curtis Martin and together they will lead the group on a retreat that is sure to be an experience of a lifetime. The theme of this great adventure will be MADE FOR MORE.
We all get the sense from time to time that there must be more to life. There is. And together, Curtis and Matthew, will unfold a series of rare insights into what God’s plan is for you.
Last year, people from ages 12 to 86 years old attended from more than twenty states across the US. We would like to invite you to join us in 2010.
Our days will be a combination of retreat days and excursion days. During the retreat days Matthew and Curtis will lead a series of conferences design to help participants to realize that we are indeed MADE FOR MORE. The goal of these conferences will be to help each participant develop a personalized plan to apply to his/her daily life after the retreat. The excursion days will include visits to the historic places of importance in and around Fatima, as well as the secular and sacred sites in Lisbon. Our last day is always an excursion to the costal town of Nazare, where we relax and spend the day at the beach before making our journey home. Each day consists of some free time to allow participants to rest and seek renewal in their own way.
Over the years the itinerary has been refined to provide a retreat experience that takes into consideration the whole person – physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.
Come and awaken your spiritual senses, discover the amazing plan that God has in mind for you, develop extraordinary new friendships, experience one of the most sacred places of our times, explore the-best-version-of-yourself, and with the help of Matthew and Curtis, put together a practical strategy to walk with God in this next phase of your life!

He has written twelve books which have appeared on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists and been published in twenty-five languages. His titles include: The Rhythm of Life, The Seven Levels of Intimacy, The Dream Manager, Building Better Families, and Rediscovering Catholicism.

His core message, regardless of whether he addresses CEO’s, high schoolers, priests or parish communities, invites listeners to become the-best-version-of-themselves. This message of becoming the-best-version-of-yourself, inspired by his reading of Vatican II’s universal call to holiness, has allowed him to present the genius of Catholicism through his seminars and writings in a way that is disarmingly simple and yet, deeply profound.
