Abstract
Marking the high anniversarv of St Dujam's, its patron's,
martvrdom, The Split-Makarska Archdiocese, formerlv the Salona
Archdiocese, worked out and completed some extensive plans of
contemporarv pastoral and apostolate during the last four years.
These consisted of actual initiatives and complementarv
programmes, personal engagement and extensive cooperation. Faith
and religious life were the main points of reference: personal and
common awareness of Christian vocation and the role of the
believers-laymen in the church work and life. education for religious
togetherness and deliberate witnessing of faith, public moralitv and
common welfare, solidaritv and charitv.
The entire four-year plan was developed under the common
motto "Christ the Well of Life and Hope in New Millennium".
Occasional initiatives and basic programmes were successively and
simultaneously carried out. The first year was dedicated to the
family, the second to the parish, the third to the local Church, the
fourth to evangelisation and witnessing of faith: in person and in
one's community, in family and parish, in the Church and among
common people, in science and culture, in public morality and society. Parish was the basic destination; however, at greater or
shorter intervals, mutual deanery and archdiocesan praying and
working meetings, catechetic-educational lessons and spiritual
renewals, Eucharist celebrations and cultural performances
accompanied it.
