Summary/Abstract: The article is about the process of developing the personality of a family minister according to the concept of Father Piotr Poręba. The personality of a family minister is shown as the general type of behaviour and the way of acting conditioned by the biological condition, the psychical condition and the family background of the family minister. In the general formulation of the issue, the author distinguishes the features and the attitudes of the family minister's personality. The main features of a family minister are: the vocation, the care for the family life, the pastoral abilities, the ability to observe and to properly judge a situation, the social skills, the ability to sympathize to a family; whereas the attitudes of a family minister are the ones proving: the living faith, the coexistence, the eagerness to communicate with others, the eagerness to serve, the selfless, unconditioned love, and the Christian authenticity. The personality of a family minister develops through the innate activity as well as through the influence of other people.
