Sažetak
Growth in the maturity of faith, as one of the fundamental elements of the Christian life, is directly related to pastoral activity, particularly catechesis. Therefore, pastoralcatechetical dynamics, especially those of a parish nature, should necessarily contribute to permanent progress toward an increasingly mature faith in all dimensions of life. Many current indicators point to a genuine crisis not only of maturing in faith, but also of the beginning of that process in general, and in the actual decision to grow in faith. In this regard, certain areas of pastoral activity and catechesis with adults represent some of the most challenging and complex to actualize nowadays. In addition, the community, as an essential factor, is recognized not only as a reality on the path to progress, but often also as a challenging factor in terms of the representation of the environment of mature religious life. This article aims to distinguish the theologicalpastoral essential prerequisites for pastoral activity and catechesis with adult believers in the context of the community. These prerequisites primarily concern important elements of the structural relationship between a believer and the Christian community with respect to the progress in the maturity of the faith of both the person and the community. This discernment addresses some current aspects of the relevant topic, where more successful realization in today’s social and pastoral contexts can aid the maturation process in faith.
