Kościół i parafia w doświadczeniach polskich migrantów
Church and Parish in the Experiences of Polish Migrants

Summary/Abstract: The article shows the institutional and societal dimension of the religiosity of Polish migrants in Great Britain. Three issues were subjected to sociological analysis: church, parish and clergy, which were presented from the perspective of the respondents’ experience. Empirical material was collected using the qualitative research method using in-depth interview techniques. Sociological analysis has shown that in a pluralistic society, changes in the institutional parameter of religiosity are multidirectional. In a multicultural society, some migrants negatively assess the institutional dimension of the functioning of the Church or parish, for others, especially in the context of migration, they become important and much needed. The assessment of the clergy is also diversified and often depends on the level of religiosity of the examined person.
