Parohia – structura socială ideală a coeziunii şi comuniunii ecclesiale
Parish - ideal social structure of cohesion and ecclesial communion

Summary/Abstract: The smallest cell or subdivision of the Christian church is the parish. It is a spiritual unit, an enlarged family of believers united through faith’s identity, grouped around other parishes or a church.The centre of life, cohesion and ecclesial communion of the parish resides in the Holy Mass, because the Eucharist is the Sacrament of absolute union and communion of man with Christ. In the Eucharistic communion of the church, Christ gathers and embosoms us all; therefore the parish community, or the local church, represents the ideal human society in Christ.Under the dome of the church was achieved the twinning of all walks of life. The framework offered by the parish church is the most favourable and beneficial for all the components of life – private or social. Therefore the church represents the settlement and the parish represents the ecclesiastical unit indispensible to our life and happiness. Here people feel freer, coequal, and twinned with each other.
