Summary/Abstract: The contemporary paradigm of moral education is based on the combination of moral knowledge and moral action. At the same time, moral education consists in creating an appropriate environment for the interiorization of the components of social morality into the young's personality structure, leading to the implementation of proper moral conduct. The orientation of religious education to the concrete life of the people and to a more direct and more vivid link with Church services and especially the Divine Liturgy is a goal truly expected. This requires a closer connection between teachers, priests, and parishes, as well as outlining some educational partnerships between parishes and schools. From these permanent links, not only the Church would benefit, but also the school, and consequently, the Romanian society.
