Summary/Abstract: The duties in the liturgical and pastoral field and the privileges of the minor basilica are determined by canon law. The duties concern the provision of constant liturgical formation for lay people, the preparation and celebration of the rites related to the liturgical year, the care of liturgical singing, the solemn celebration and celebrations of communion with the Holy See. Among the privileges granted to the minor basilica, the first is the well-prepared and well-lived day of proclaiming the title of the basilica. Moreover, the faithful who visit the basilica and participate in its rituals are granted numerous plenary indulgences. The remaining privileges concern the use of the papal emblem, which is crossed keys, and the dress of the administrator of the minor basilica. Duties, tasks and privileges of the Skrzatusz basilica are the elements that make it a center of both liturgical and pastoral activity.
