Abstrakt

The author bases himself on the statistical data of 1986 gathered by the Institute of the Sociology of Religion SAC and research carried out in 7896 parishes in all Polish dioceses. The sociographic description takes into account the following subjects: the number of parishes according to dioceses and voievodships; types of parishes (diocesan and religious, urban, urban-rural and rural); the number of the faithful and priests; churches, chapels and catechetical centres; fellowship movements in the parishes of some chosen dioceses (the diocese in Białystok, Gdan´ sk, Katowice, Gorzów). The researches into the religious movements and fellowships were carried out within the framework of a broader subject which concerned the role of a Roman-Catholic parish in the organization of social life at the local level. The study contains information on the number of religious movements and fellowships in the parishes under investigation as well as the tasks which they fulfill.
