Abstract
On the basis of available literature the article puts forward the catechesis initiatives undertaken by Frane Franić, Archbishop of Split–Makarska. The method used is demonstrative–analytical and in part synthetic. The article was envisaged as having three subsections which together with the introductory section would break down of Archbishop Franić’s catechetical contribution and also describe some initiatives he undertook and the circumstances in which he worked: a social order of the communist regime and the (post–)conciliar period in the Church. In such circumstances Franić strived to put into effect post–conciliar guidelines for catechesis, to implement catechetical principles and to systematize catechesis. He devoted special care to the catechesis of young people, but also to a broader catechetical activity and initiated the establishment of various catechesis committees over which he presided. Catechesis was to him the most important of pastoral duties, and he repeatedly entreated all to adhere to didactic guidelines for catechesis.
