Summary/Abstract: The author seeks to reconstruct the pedagogy of the legendary youth priest, Dominican friar Jan Góra. To this end, she analyses his programme texts as well as his educational and pastoral activities, drawing on her own experience of collaborating with Jan Góra. The author is trying to demonstrate that Jan Góra developed a coherent educational and formative programme intended for work with youth, being a response to the contemporary societal and cultural needs. The friar developed and modified the programme based on many years’ experience. The centres in Jamna and in the Lednica Fields, as well as the testimonials given by representatives of several generations of the friar’s students, confirm his influence.
