Nazareth summer retreats take place at the Dominus Vobiscum Retreat Centre located near beautiful St. Gabriel, Quebec on the shores of Lac Maskinongé.  A choice of three one week retreats are offered for new and returning families.  Each year, more families become part of the Nazareth Family as it is a deeply moving and extremely fun time for all involved.

We are blessed to have a priest in residence for the entire week. Each day begins with the celebration of the Eucharist, and, there are opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation during the week. Each evening there is some form of community prayer – the rosary, praise and worship, or adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

Adult talks and children's activities by age group take place each morning following Mass. Afternoons are free for family time and recreation.

Recreational activities include basketball, volleyball, soccer, beach front and water activities.

All families arrive at the Centre on Sunday afternoon and depart the following Saturday morning. As they arrive, families are greeted and assigned their own cabin, refrigerator, and dry food storage area.

Each family is assigned a private cabin with a bathroom. There are six twin cabins, each with private space for two families with a common, adjoining area featuring two bathrooms, one for each family. The main lodge, features a beautiful chapel, kitchen - fully equipped, games room, toy/play room - for little ones, sitting area, and living room. All buildings have electricity and there are showers in the bathrooms in the main lodge. Families are asked to bring bed linens or sleeping bags. Cabins can accommodate large families.

Each family is responsible for preparing their own breakfast and supper while a wonderful group of volunteers prepares lunch for all.
