Sažetak
The course of the Synod of the Diocese of Ðakovo and Srijem has shown the necessity to take care of the formation of collaborators in pastoral work. The article intends to contribute to reflections on the initial formation of parish collaborators at a diocesan level. The introduction gives the clear definition of the formation, explaining the terminology and the guidelines of relevant ecclesiastic documents. The second part of the article gives details on the criteria for the election of collaborators in parishes, highlighting the delicacy of these elections. The third part of the article clarifies the formative dimensions of the initial formation of collaborators. The second part of the article goes directly to the concrete proposal to realise the initial formation of collaborators in the parishes of the Diocese of Ðakovo and Srijem, taking into consideration the real needs (estimated on the basis of previous researches on the profiles of required collaborators which were carried out in the selected groups of the faithful and priests during the preparations for the Second Diocesan Synod, through the survey filled out by the priests). The fourth part of the article brings out the proposal of the project School for pastoral collaborators in the parish, revealing various details related to time schedules, enrolment procedure, financing etc. The suggested formation in the School for pastoral collaborators would also take into consideration the previous education of the candidates. Consequently, besides the actual requirements of parish communities and different affinities of the applicants, the prior professional training of the candidates will also be taken into consideration during the selection of future pastoral collaborators. The fifth chapter of the article presents the criteria for the selection of the potential candidates for future pastoral collaborators and their enrolment in the School for pastoral collaborators, whereas the sixth chapter includes the review of all the required assistant services that can be organised in different parishes, and which were identified during the Synod and through the above mentioned survey taken by the priests of the Diocese of Ðakovo and Srijem. The services are systematically organised according to education and the basic theological-pastoral formation of collaborators, to formulate a possible project of the services of the lay faithful in the parishes of the Diocese of Ðakovo and Srijem.
