Abstract

This article focuses on catechetical meaning of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in
the diocese of Opole based on pastoral letters of bishop A. Czaja issued in years 2016–2018
for the very purpose of the Week’s celebrations. These letters are very important for the
catechesis focused on ecumenism. They consist of valuable teachings on the Catechism
as well as invitation to get involved in the ecumenical movement. In those pastoral letters
are presented especially issues that are derived from particular goals of the catechesis like:
growth in understanding of the faith, introduction to the mission, formation in prayer, as
well as fostering life within the community.

Keywords:

catechesis, ecumenism, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, diocese of Opole, ecumenical formation
