Summary/Abstract: Based on the published canonical visitations and available literature, the author analyzes the church organization and religious practices in Valpovo and the surrounding area, that is, in the area of parishes that were present there from the first half of the 16th century to the mid-18th century. It is both an analysis of the relationship of the church and civil authorities toward the centers and other parts of the parishes, but also of people’s reactions which sometimes occurred as a cause, and sometimes as a consequence to the mentioned authorities and their relationship. As a result of all this, for the entire examined period, there are differences between the set religious expressions and the lived religion that becomes imbued with elements of syncretism.
