Religious leadership and education in Poland
Overview
Religious leadership and educational initiatives have recently been a focus within the Catholic and Orthodox churches in Poland.
In early October, the Conference of Female Religious Congregations elected Radosława Podgórska as chairwoman for the 2026-2029 term. Concurrently, the Polish Autocephalous Orthodox Church held a catechetical conference in Lublin led by Archbishop Abel, focusing on the symbolism of the Cross and religious education for youth.
By mid-October, the focus expanded to spiritual formation and pedagogical training. In the Archdiocese of Gniezno, the Catechetical Department organized inter-deanery meetings for religious educators as part of the Archdiocesan Eucharistic Congress, ‘With Broken Bread in Hands’. These sessions aim to address modern challenges in school religious instruction. Additionally, Mother Radosława Podgórska has advocated for a stronger presence of female religious orders within diocesan pastoral councils to provide spiritual accompaniment and retreats.
