Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the research is to analyze the situation of the Church and pastoral care in the post-pandemic reality. The experience of the 2020-2022 period shows that there has been a strengthening of the faith attitudes of Catholics actively participating in the life of the Church. At the same time, the weaker sides of pastoral care, resulting from confrontation with the media world, have shown themselves. This calls for using the experience of people of science, medicine, bioethics, psychology in the pastoral model. Pastoral activity should also value sacramental pastoral care with the Eucharist at the center. New challenges also face pastoral theology, whose research results can be used to seek new ways of carrying out salvific mission and evangelization.
