Summary/Abstract: The indispensability of a new, more systematic consideration of the process of religious education at all levels is lately becoming more and more obvious in the Church of Croatia. While a great consideration has been dedicated to religious education in schools, there is a lack of adequate endeavor to carry out the high standard religious socialization in the family, especially when it comes to parish catechesis. Although the document of the Croatian Bishops’ Conference »Parish Catechesis in the Renewal of the Parish Community« (2000) has given new, in many aspects original starting points for parish catechesis under new circumstances, we can’t say that the document has found a powerful response in parishes, nor that an appropriate debate about the document has ever taken place. In the meantime certain changes have taken place in the evangelizational – catechetic paradigm through which one becomes a Christian, not by one’s heritage but by one’s own choice.
