Abstract
An overview of the Council’s text explicitly mentioning the parochial community is given, instigating a reflection upon life and mission of the parochial community, in the spirit of the Council’s ecclesiology. The author stresses the importance of a continuous pastoral-theological reflection upon these documents, for the benefit of the realization and activity of the parochial community in the Croatian social and ecclesial reality. A precondition necessary for the enactment of the parochial project of 2nd Vatican Council is the understanding of Council’s view of the Church.
