Summary/Abstract: Knowledge Society is characterized by some aspects which modify the way in which we approach the daily realities. In this regard, the development of IT&C technologies and the usage of knowledge, as fundamental resource for the new economy, allow the development of a context that solicits new approach modalities of the way in which faith is transmitted. Complementary, environmental problems and massive migration of population create new challenges for the way in which faith transmission is treated. Thus, in this new context, it is necessary to reapproach the way of faith transmission due to the new challenges. To realize this, it is required to focus the attention on the human and to study his deepest dimension. Consequently, the approach of the deepest human dimension imposes also the study of the unconscious. The study of the unconscious is necessary because it has influences in the way faith is transmitted and lived. The present exploratory study presents the possibilities in which the unconscious can influence the faith transmission through its specific processes and its symbolism.
