Gogolik, Mirosław2025-06-162025-06-162017Studia Bydgoskie, 2017, Tom 11, s. 97-110.1898-9837https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/32555With regard to the current pace of life and the dynamically changing structures and models of social life, a need arises for new programs in pastoral theology and catechetical education based on work with young people so that they can satisfy their religious requirements and expectations, and thus effectively accomplish the goal of catechetical instruction, which is to attain an intimate relationship with Christ. Responsible teaching and the cooperation of all those involved in providing religious education in the parish, conducted in the spirit of dialogue and magnanimity, may bear fruit in the adult life of the student. The article discusses the practice of preparing candidates for the sacrament of confirmation in view of the evolving law and the current guidelines of the Polish Episcopate Conference. The study also contains opinions and observations from religious instruction teachers on the preparation period, the age of sacrament reception and the organizational forms of catechetical instruction addressed at those to receive confirmation.plCC-BY-SA - Uznanie autorstwa - Na tych samych warunkachprzygotowanie do bierzmowaniabierzmowaniesakramentyWskazania Konferencji Episkopatu Polskidokumenty Kościołareligianauczyciele religiimłodzieżEpiskopat PolskiwiaraKonferencja Episkopatu Polskipreparation to confirmationconfirmationsacramentsChurch documentsreligionreligion teachersyouthPolish EpiscopatefaithPolish Episcopal ConferenceArticle
