Abstract
After the Communists took power in 1948, the school system and education in Czechoslovakia were indoctrinated by the ideology of MarxismÂ-Leninism. A unified state system of education was created (Education Act No. 95/1948 and Higher Education Act No. 58/1950) with the aim of educating each young person as a "builder of Communism". The Church became the biggest internal enemy of the state, soÂ-called church acts were passed, orders were abolished, and many bishops, monks, nuns and priests were sentenced to imprisonment. The government attempted to track and control representatives of the official Church. Therefore, in the period of political release in the 1960s (Prague Spring), when the first monks and priests were released from prison, the soÂ-called Secret Church launched its activity in Slovakia. The paper is focused on an analysis of the model of work with university students which was historically the first form of spiritual and intellectual formation in the Secret Church in Slovakia.
