Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to explore the use of the Internet for evangelization, catechesis and widely understood pastoral work in relation to the pastoral care of Poles living in exile in London. For methodological reasons, first it shows the position of the Catholic Church on the Internet, followed by a brief characterization of Polish immigration to the UK. In the centre of the article there is an analysis of websites and other communication tools used by the Polish parishes in London. The culmination of reflection is to present proposals and demands concerning the prospects of using the Internet in their future work.
