Działalność religijno-społeczna Kościoła gorzowskiego w latach 1966–1972
Religious and social activity of the Gorzów Church in the years 1966–1972

Summary/Abstract: The period between the Millennium of the Baptism of Poland (1966) and the papal bull of Pope Paul VI Episcoporum Poloniae coetus (1972) was governed by Bishop Wilhelm Pluta and his suffragans: Jerzy Stroba and Ignacy Jeż. It was at this time that particularly intensive efforts to normalise the church or- ganisation in these lands were visible. And the religious and social activity of the Gorzów Church, so im- portant in this process of normalisation, was focused on: sacramental and special ministry; two Catholic associations – the Confraternity of the Rosary and the Society of Friends of the Catholic University of Lu- blin; educational institutions – the Higher Theological Seminary, the School of Religious Knowledge, the Catholic catechist education centre and the Department of Divine Mercy. The activity in question was based mainly on parishes. It was a great help to have one large facility – the Higher Theological Seminary in Paradyż. Hence, it was understandable that Bishop Wilhelm Pluta called for new dioceses in Wrocław in 1970, so that the access of the faithful to their priests would be easier.
