Abstract
The parish, as a community of communities, is a space for the Catholics to grow in the faith and also the place where they work and receive formation in smaller groups. They unite the Catholic laity and as such are essential for the proper functioning of the parish. In addition to this, the parish groups help in the task of permanent formation of Christians. This paper demonstrates their impor- tance and their role in the broader ecclesial context. The article also indicates the dangers that the members of religious groups are exposed to and the ways to overcome them. It emphasises the important role of the prudent pastoral care provided by the priests and the well-prepared catechesis combined with formation which is proper to various movements and groups.
