In terms of pastoral, but also the position (these parishes are in the southern part of the deanery) constitute a whole, which is the center of the city Węgorzyno. Over the past 68 years since the end of World War II 31 speakers of here pastors and administrators and 29 vicars of Węgorzyna could well develop religious life. They currently employ 7,571 faithful. Evidenced by the beautiful and well-maintained churches and chapels (there are 24), as well as attendance at Mass. from 25% Mieszewie Węgorzynie and by 30% in Runowo Pomorski and Runowo 35%, even up to 60% in Sielsku. This is much larger than the average in the Archdiocese of Szczecin-Kamien. Also, eleven of priestly vocations, including two religious and one for his brother and a religious nun demonstrate the vitality of the parish communities. The Cistercians presence in Winniki since 2005 provides not only spiritual enrichment, but also cultural one.
