Nazareth Formation Center in Milaor, Philippines


The Nazareth Formation Center is home of both the lay formation center and the SOLT Theology House of Studies for men studying for the priesthood.  

Nazareth Family and Life Center is a specialized ministry of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT) for the New Evangelization by Formation, Spirituality, Stewardship, and Entrepreneurship.  Many groups have retreats, recollections, days of prayer, and training.  For more information, contact Fr Fausto Malanyaon, SOLT lay regional director for the Asia Pacific Region. 

 Seven years ago, the center was in shambles, electrical wiring was stolen, and the greenery was overgrown, but because of daily, hourly perseverance, prayer, and lots of hard work, now it is a lay formation center, retreat center, house of studies for seminarians, training center for sustainable livelihood projects, but most importantly a place where Jesus Christ the Lord in the Eucharist is proclaimed, loved, adored, and shared.  

Daily Mass is offered here, sometimes twice daily, confession, spiritual direction, and on First Saturdays there are 2000 Hail Mary's (40 rosaries) prayed with a healing Mass in the evening.

With the visit of His Excellency, Bishop Jose Rojas, Jr, D.D., on the second anniversary of Nazareth Center's foundation, June 7th, 2014, 3000 fruit trees will be planted on the property to help sustain the finances for lay formation.

If you would like more information, or to find out how you can support the Nazareth Center, please contact Fr Fausto Malanyaon, SOLT, the Lay Servant for the SOLT Asia Pacific Region.
