Abstract

The article addresses the problem of religious education in the context of current socio-religious changes. They can be observed in the change in the mentality of children, adolescents, and adults, the galloping secularization in Poland, the organization of religious lessons, and the quality of catechetical involvement of the family, school, and parish. In response to socio-religious transformations, proposals have been formulated for the renewal of educational environments and changes in religious lessons at school. It was postulated to develop a new core curriculum for religion lessons and to undertake new evangelization, catechetical, and pastoral activities in the family, school, and parish, using digital spaces. The cooperation of educational circles was considered important, which, like the core curriculum, and the curriculum for religious instruction in school, needs to be renewed. In doing so, the emphasis should be on authentic communication and cooperation between parents, educators, catechists, and pastors.
