Studium duszpasterstwa ludzi pracy

Abstract

The development of specialistic pastoral care has brought about a burning need to prepare priests for their conducting. To this end served the Department of Pastoral Care for the Working People established at the Institute of Pastoral Theology (KUL) in the initiative of the Polish Episcopate. Thinking over theological bases of specialistic pastoral care has made it possible to reveal certain principles which should mould the profile of this type of studies. The main assumptions of the Department of the Pastoral Care for the Working People has then been confronted with their practical realization. The experience gained when conducting the Department has been shown in final conclusions. They may turn out to be useful when organizing similar studies.
