Summary/Abstract: The beatification of Fr. Władysław Bukowiński draws attention to his pastoral work. It has a clear pedagogical reference, which can be observed in his educational care for the comprehensive development of the faithful. Blessed Fr. Bukowiński developed his own forms of pastoral work since he needed to adjust to the extreme conditions of life in a labor camp and ministering without a church building. The basic category of his pedagogy was the encounter with people and dialogue. In this way, he was able to reach the faithful and share with them the truth of God’s love and human dignity. Bukowiński’s pedagogy contains the elements of the educational process, e.g. the affirmation of human dignity, permanence, intraactivity, mutual relationships, transgression and indeterminacy. The communist authorities opposed Fr. Bukowiński’s work. He was repressed and persecuted. His perseverance was a key factor which made the faithful follow him and treat him with great respect.
