Summary/Abstract: The Diocese of Košice in the first half of the 20th century, was very active in missionary activi-ty, which was significantly shaped by the Popes during this period. The new spring of missionary activity brought with it the emergence of several missionary associations, missionary societies, missionary maga-zines, and missionaries themselves, but especially a very large number of lay believers. During this period, the bishops of Košice made a great pastoral effort to ensure that almost every priest and believer, including children, should engage in a number of missionary activities in the diocese. In particular, the fruits of missionary collections, missionary lectures, catechesis, missionary festivities and other activities are a testament to the great enthusiasm of helping missions in different ways.
