Summary/Abstract: The Internet is an essential tool in the mission of contemporary Catholic Church. It has become a daily instrument of work for priests and monks. Since 1990s the Bernardine Fathers and subsequently the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters have started to create the websites of their monasteries. Beyond a doubt it was caused by new opportunities of pastoral work, dialogue with the contemporary faithful, exchange of thoughts and experiences. Furthermore, the websites constitute a great aid to reach various kind of information especially those which concern the history of the Bernardine Fathers and the Bernardine Franciscan Sisters in Poland. The research papers present a different level, however they equip a reader with basic information about the presented monastic posts. Hence, they are worth reading.
