Abstract

The diocesan Caritas in Poland for several years pay special attention to religious and moral formation of its employees and volunteers. The Catechism, which appeared in the Year of faith, announced by the pope Benedict XVI, is shaping the ethical and religious attitudes of employees. The Catechism presents work in Caritas as a form of realization of the Christian vocation. All believers, especially Caritas workers should get involved in the charity work and the deeds of love of neighbor. The fourth part of the Catechism deals with the religious motives of work in Caritas. In this article, the author describes the style of work in diocesan Caritas, moral duties and the spirit of mercy, which should characterize those, who assist neighbors in need. Appearing moral obligations as well as ethical and moral silhouette of workers, the author tries to encourage them to permanent work over oneself and deepen of personal faith.
