Abstract
The article attempts to present the activities of the theological organisation »Assembly of Spiritual Youth« of the Seminary in Đakovo. The Assembly had an obligation to educate future priests to make them able to participate in the pastoral life and culture amongst the people with whom they lived and to whom they were to serve. The Assembly was active in various ways from the Illyrian Movement to the time after WW II, according to political, cultural and religious circumstances of the time. It brought up a number of priests who left their trace in the spiritual life and the cultural enhancement of the Croatian people, especially in Slavonia and Srijem. The Assembly ceased to exist about fi fty years ago. Yet, it managed to leave a profound impression on the conception that the faith and people ought to grow and make progress together, as they are one.
