Polish Episcopal Conference issues pastoral letter for Education Week

The Polish Episcopal Conference has released a pastoral letter for the 16th Education Week, themed ‘Education and formation in the community of faith’. The event is scheduled to take place from September 13 to 19, 2026.

The letter encourages clergy and lay faithful to foster authentic encounters within parish communities. It emphasizes the role of the Church as a ‘guardian’ that accompanies individuals through love rather than mere obligation. The message highlights the need to rethink parish ministry to ensure it serves as a space for meeting both deeply believing individuals and those who are searching or distanced from faith, amidst the modern challenges of information noise and haste.
