Katecheza szkolna i parafialna w kontekście duszpasterstwa Kościoła

Abstract

Vatican II drew attantion to the pastoral nature of the whole Church. Catechesis is one of the ways of Christ's saving mission in the Church. It has gone through various phases in its history, mostly seeking a place for itself in the family, school or parish. Each of these environments is distinct and has its own distinct task. This conditions the model of catechesis preferred. Nowadays a need is recognized to make catechesis more open, to establich connections with various informal groups and youth movements and also to set up formal groups. In any environment, catechesis derives both its justification and its effectiveness from the Church.
