TRANSMISSION OF FAITH TO THE YOUNG GENERATION IN THE PERIOD OF II^ND REPUBLIC OF POLAND – „CATECHETICAL AND EDUCATIONAL MONTHLY MAGAZINE” 1918–1939
Summary
The articles published in the Catechetical and Educational Monthly Magazine present the pastoral activity in Polish schools in the interwar period of the 20th century. Proclaiming of faith to students took place during religious education classes within school pastoral care, in parishes and in church organizations. In the twenties, differences in the way of teaching as well as in its level were clear what resulted from historical conditions. Discussions on the curricula of religious education placed in the magazine prove priests’ commitment to the pastoral care of youth. The insight on the Bible was one of the elements, but it is the Catechism that formed the basis of faith contents passed. During religious education classes, the attention was paid not only to religious knowledge, but also to the formation of faith attitudes among children and young people.
