Summary/Abstract: Upbringing is a process which has the greatest influence upon the correct formulation of a child personality. It is one of the most important notions in pedagogy. A specific place in understanding the goal of upbringing is taken by the catholic concept of education. It is because Christianity is a religion revealed by God disclosing himself as a person full of love. The purpose of Christian upbringing/education, which is a continuation of God's pedagogy, expressed in human interaction with God's grace, is to form a perfect man, a Christian who is following Christ. Reflection concerning the phrase "Christian education" is associated with the study of the values that/which should be introduced in the field of education and preparing young people for life in the spirit of religion. The essential role in these activities was played by moral education. Today we do not observe a shortage of those among the youth in Poland and all over the world, who would be sensitive to spiritual values and look for help and support in the process of maturation of their Christian personality. A great role in this process belongs to the participation and work for the church choir, which offers a musical frame for various religious ceremonies, especially the Mass.
