Abstract

This disseratation described the transformation of organization and activity of ecclesiastical structures in the diocese of Tarnów, in the reign of bishop Jerzy Ablewicz (1962-1990). These transformations adapted ecclesiastical structures to requirments of the Vatican II and the new Code of Canon Law. Paricularly great modifications took place in the organization and activity of Diocesan Curia. It became a central organ of coordination of pastoral functions in the whole diocese. New structures diocesan developed such as: Presbyteral Council with College of Consultors and Diocesan Pastoral Council as organs consultative Ordinari Bishop. Caritas Diocese of Tarnów was established in 1989 in order to perfect charity. The great modifications took place in Theological Seminary, Diocesan Tribunal and Cathedral Chapter too. Bishop J. Ablewicz created more new parishes and decanates. Against difficult political conditions were established various organizations for lay catholics. An unusual event was the creation of Catholic Mission in Congo which was conducted by diocesan priestes of Tarnów.
