Abstract
The formation of the metropolitan archdiocese of Rijeka, is a turning point in the life of the Church in these regions. The goal of
this restructuration was above all a better, more connected, efficiently coordinated pastoral activity involving the faithful from the archdiocese of Rijeka and Senj (presently the archdiocese of Rijeka and the diocese of Gospić and Senj), and from the dioceses of Krk and Poreč and Pula. Discussing the pastoral enterprises encouraged from the centre of the new metropolitan archdiocese of Rijeka, involves the mention of the common institutions at the service of all mentioned dioceses, as well as the discussion of the pastoral initiatives started from the centre of the archdiocese in Rijeka, but spreading to different fields of pastoral ministry, contributing and encouraging the pastoral ministry in the whole region. In this article, from the point of view of history and pastoral ministry, we discuss the activity and the importance of the mentioned institutions and initiatives, especially regarding the possible improvement of the present pastoral ministry, and the encouragement given from the past institutions for the future.
