Summary/Abstract: The observation of present human lives shows clearly that the family crises becomes more and more serious. The number of so called partnerships is rising andthe popularity of marriage is decreasing very fast. We may notice a large number of marriage breakdowns. Every family which is lost as a result of the modern changes, exposed to the intrusive behavior of the laic and liberal media, needs strong support from the Church, especially from the Ministry of Families. Finding the appropriate forms of marriage and family care, which are adjusted to the needs of marriage and family, poses a major challenge for the Church. Therefore the Church finds the service for the family as one of the most essential tasks, as the first and, for many reasons, the most important mission and service. The tasks of the Ministry of Families along with the description of taken initiatives in the Diocese of Legnica become the content of this article. There was also taken an attempt to show the function of the Ministry of Families as a response for the marriage and family crises.
