Apostolat rodziny

Abstract

The primary aim of the family oriented pastoral activity of the Church is to help families. However, it is the Christian family that is the first community called to preach Gospel to a human being, who is in constant developmnent, and lead him/her in the process of educating and through catechesis to full human and Christian maturity (cf. FC 2) and, by the power of Sacramental grace, it is endowed with a special mission to build the Church (cf. FC 71). Within the frame of pastoral structure family constitutes the primary subject of apostolic activity. The quality of this apostolate is the best test of efficiency of pastoral care about family. It is therefore important to help families discover their apostolic vocation and support organizing of families in order to improve their influence both in parishes and dioceses.
