Summary/Abstract: Youth is the time to shape an attitude towards the values. This is due to the development of subjectivity in this period. Young people acquire the personal relationship with many values including the faith in God. This relationship is shaped by the influence of the family, the influence of the religious community manifesting itself through the parishes and the teaching of religious education. On the other hand, its attitude is shaped by the educative influence of many communities and institutions that provide an alternative view on the world and alternative reference to the values. The study conducted among young people of Eastern Kuyavia reveals the acceptance of Catholic values by a large group of young people but also allows to notice a certain part of the young people who abandon these recognized values. The Catholic community who wants to keep its identity should always be concerned about the fullest possible transfer of Catholic values. Believing parents, religious communities, and religious education teachers should be involved in this process. It also inspires carrying out catechetical pastoral care.
