Summary/Abstract: The Missionary and Witnessing Character of Religious Education. In the life of believers, religious education has an important role, because through it provides a sense of life, a direction and a way to exist, a different perspective than the purely material. Through this kind of education is as a link man with God, communion of limited being to the infinite one. Man is guided by a pure life, is invited to a continuous purification of passions and an increase in virtue, to enable active involvement in responsible community life. Family’s approaching of the Church, the priest approaching of the parents, through pastoral means, at its disposal will involve the entire community in ministry and witnessing. The word in its depiction of confession is an expression of the spiritual dimension the one that sends the testimony of truth as a catalytic element, able to provide by itself, to the heart of faithful that something, for this heart to be in itself powerless to remain in Christ and to witness Him, anywhere and at any cost.
