Abstract:

The article discusses the transformations which took place over two years (2006 through 2008) in the parish of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Otwock-Śródborów — the parish in which the author lives and to which she belongs. As an inhabitant of the parish and a participant in the life of its religious community, she was in position to closely and regularly observe the process, and at the same time had access to information which may have been concealed from an outsider. In the mid-2006 the hitherto rector had been recalled and thus, initially at least, the transformations concerned only the organisation of parish life. However, as the creator and spiritual leader of the community, and as the builder of the parish church, the rector had enjoyed particular respect and was a great authority to his parishioners; no wonder, therefore, that his leaving triggered changes which were felt keenly throughout the community. From a traditional, well-integrated local community fulfilling several functions of not only religious nature, it became a community of a strictly religious character, the members of which, having completed shared religious practice, return to their individual concerns. Today, the parish in question is still in the process of changing. At present, it is difficult to state with any certainty in what direction the transformations are heading, which makes the parish all the more interesting object of observation and further research
