Abstract
Project and program approach to pastoral work is the fruit of the church community’s desire for more systematic and concretely realizable pastoral ministry. The new conditions before the challenges of new evangelization demand “pastoral conversion” in the direction of the missionary Church. The umbrella document of the Slovenian pastoral project was prepared in September 2012. The article analyzes the document and its orientations. This project is intended for the living Church communities that will guide people to personal faith. To achieve this goal, the project proposes priorities that will help to set off on the path of new evangelization: the biblical renewal, the renewal of catechesis for children and young people and the preparation for sacraments, the transition to adult catechesis. The umbrella document is presented as the beginning of a process, which in the following years aims to achieve through programming a level of pastoral care that will respond to contemporary challenges.
