Summary/Abstract: Due to the multi-faceted nature of Stefan Wyszyński’s personalistic concept, this article focuses on the Christian vision of culture. In this context, attention was drawn to how personalism can constitute the basis for shaping culture, especially to contemporary (post-) modern reality. The conducted analysis of the vision of culture places it to the facts of the Christian life. In this sense, creative activity for culture should be seen in the context of realizing the fullness of the human personality not only in the temporal dimension but also in the supernatural. It allows the human person to join the current of civilization and cultural changes and enable a person to discover the right place in the dynamically changing realities of the modern world.
