Matt Talbot Retreat Movement

Our Story

The Matt Talbot Retreat Movement began in 1941 when three alcoholics from Ridgewood, New Jersey, attended a Laymen’s retreat at Loyola Retreat House. Inspired by their experience, they returned the following year with eleven men, leading to the establishment of a dedicated retreat group for Alcoholics Anonymous. Today, the movement has expanded to 190 groups across the US and Canada, with approximately 117,000 members, all committed to spiritual enrichment and support for individuals in recovery.

Impact

Over the years, the Matt Talbot Retreat Movement has facilitated retreats for more than 44,000 men and women, providing a crucial support system for those recovering from alcoholism. These retreats foster spiritual growth and community, significantly contributing to participants' sobriety and personal development.
