Project Nazareth OLD | Evangelize Boston

Faith begins at home.

Passing on your Catholic faith is some of the most crucial work a parent will do. PROJECT NAZARETH is a resource to help families grow their faith together. It is a tool to build the domestic church with Christ as the cornerstone. As the Venerable, Fr. Patrick Peyton shared, “The family that prays together, stays together.”

The Toolkit

The toolkit offers families ways to LISTEN, PRAY, and ACT with Sacred Scripture.

PROJECT NAZARETH is a resource to help families deepen their relationship with God at home. Together, you are encouraged to listen to stories from the Bible, talk about what was shared, pray, and finally, act out what you learned through fun and meaningful activities.

In the Home

With PROJECT NAZARETH, we hope parents will become more comfortable speaking about their faith with their children. Creating a Catholic culture at home is important if we want to give our kids the best chance of carrying their faith into adulthood. Instead of a classroom model with special time set aside for God, PROJECT NAZARETH is a model for your home. Talking about God and the faith is interwoven into daily life through the three sections of the toolkits.

The materials can be adapted for families of all ages and for those with varying abilities. The materials are offered in various languages, but mostly English and Spanish.

Listen

Families listen to the Word of God, then discuss what they heard using the questions provided.

Pray

Families grow their habit of praying together and even learn new ways to pray.

Act

Families expand a culture of living and sharing their faith through a simple weekly activity.

In the Parish

God desires to be in relationship with each one of us. As parents accompany their children on their journey of faith, parish leaders accompany and support parents in this role.

Parishes can use PROJECT NAZARETH to supplement their faith formation program to help families build habits of prayer. Or, it can be the parish faith formation program! Whatever the parish chooses, PROJECT NAZARETH encourages parishes to further equip and accompany parents in their role of passing on the faith. Contact us for ideas!

Open Wide Our Hearts

I’m a few weeks into Project Nazareth with my kids and I’m really liking it. My six-year-old in particular is really responsive to the questions for young kids.

The Catholic Church is called to do many things, but our primary task is to evangelize. These programs provide a framework and tools to become better disciples and lead others in their journey of discipleship.

Cardinal Seán O'Malley

I do think that the structure of Project Nazareth is a great approach for teaching and learning about our Faith. My daughter (3d grade) and I have really gotten a lot out of the program this year. I hope that we can continue this next year and beyond.
