Katecheza wprowadzająca do życia wspólnotowego w kontekście założeń programu duszpasterskiego dla Kościoła w Polsce „Wierzę w Kościół Chrystusowy”

Abstract

The pastoral program of the Polish Bishops’ Conference for the liturgical year 2022/2023 “I believe in the Church of Christ” indicates the awakening and strengthening of faith in the Church as the primary pastoral task. The reason for taking up the subject discussed are signs of loss of trust in the Church community that can be observed in the society and the synod on synodality convened by Francis. The conciliar vision of the Church that is open, communal and servant, remains an unimplemented program of renewal. The implementation of this task assumes raising the level of understanding of the Church among the faithful and awakening in them the awareness of being the Church. In the catechetical dimension, this task should be accomplished through introduction to community life. The aim of the article is to indicate the specific tasks for catechesis introducing to community life in the Church, an attempt to assess the current catechetical and pastoral situation and to present initiatives undertaken in the Katowice Church to support the introduction to community life.
