History

In September 1957, Jesuit Francisco Javier Fontova initiated Nazareth in response to the minors with problems of social marginalization in Alicante. He began by feeding 32 children, two of whom lived at the facility. The "Catholic Mothers" of the Marian Congregation helped with teaching the children.[1]

By 1977 there were 190 boys aged 5 to 17 living in the boarding school, with 4 teachers.[citation needed]
