Abstract

The Catholic Church of Slovakia starts his new dimension of pastoral work, which must have the multicultural character. Slovak society as the member of EU is opened for the new groups of foreigners which come for holydays, for work, or they escaped from their home land. All these people stay in some parts of the Slovakia in the parishes which must have some ways how to offer them the support in all kind of their needs. And this is the new dimension for the pastoral priests which must find new forms of the work, and must be prepared for it. They must obey the specific and social identity of all of them and serve them the first step for the faith, true Christ's love to the people. And this is the point of view to the situation in this article.
