The Code of Canon Law sanctioning the Vatican Council IIwith regard to organize the teaching of the Church, in one of the paragraphs reminds thatespecially such places should provide the faithful with abundant means of salvation throughzealous preaching the Word of God, a respective revival of liturgical life and the cultivationof approved folk forms of piety. Moreover, the Vatican Council II brought forth the spirit ofrenewal of charismas of religious orders. The article attempts to analyse how these guidelineswere implemented at the Marian shrine in Skrzatusz in the 80s where the Salesians run thepastoral ministry. At that time they both took care to increase the quality of spiritual ministryof preaching the Word of God and promote, in accordance with their charism, the cult of theBlessed Virgin Mary Help of Christians and St. John Bosco.
