Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on catechetical meaning of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in the diocese of Opole based on pastoral letters of bishop A. Czaja issued in years 2016–2018 for the very purpose of the Week’s celebrations. These letters are very important for the catechesis focused on ecumenism. They consist of valuable teachings on the Catechism as well as invitation to get involved in the ecumenical movement. In those pastoral letters are presented especially issues that are derived from particular goals of the catechesis like: growth in understanding of the faith, introduction to the mission, formation in prayer, as well as fostering life within the community.
