Summary/Abstract: The main task of religious and social work among immigrants is to preach the Word of God and it is to this end that all other forms of activity should be directed. The author attempts to analyze how and by what methods the Polish Catholic Mission in Sweden has been accomplishing this task for 60 years. Drawing on previous experience and listening to the current needs of the faithful, Polish pastoral care in Sweden continues to explore and use new opportunities. In addition to the traditional, proven forms recommended by the Catholic Church to proclaim the word of God, such as homilies and sermons, the catechesis of adults, children and adolescents, the Polish pastoral care in Sweden also uses modern forms of communicating the message of salvation such as the Catholic press on the Internet, audio books, e-books and encouraging the faithful to listen to catechesis in MP3 format.
