Summary/Abstract: One of the main functions of a sacred song is a formation of believers’piety. Sacred song is a heritage of the Upper Silesian Church’s tradition and culture where the whole community of the people of God is singing. The sources of the sacred songs are a confirmation of this commendable tradition. This work focuses on a selected group of Upper Silesian sets of prayers and songs which were published between 1914 and 2004 in the Archdiocese (former Diocese) of Katowice. This article is a kind of continuation of the study ”Upper Silesian prayer-books up to 1914” by s. Gaudencja (Teresa Ochot).
