Abstract

The topic has been elaborated through five titles initiating with our pastoral situation and family pastoral and about the necessity to
change attitudes towards the family, which is seen in Church documents
about families as the subject of ecclesiastical and social life and work. At the same time it points out the shocking surprise of the vast gap between what we say about family and how much the family is included in liturgical prayer and preaching. Finally, it answers the question from the title, putting forward the necessity that the diocese and parish community leaders implement the establishment of structures and bodies, that foresee the Croatian Directory recently passed for pastoral work in the family, which enables the family to be introduced as a collocutor and collaborator in work with families, and it refers to changes of the paradigm of place, which marriage and family have in the life of each parish.
