Passing on the faith is a pastoral priority in the majority of parishes and Christian communities in European countries. A crisis is strongly felt in this process of passing on the Christian heritage to the next generation. Biblical stories tell us about the beginning of a religious tradition which used the contemporary cultural background to communicate its message. Multiple changes in the postmodern society, on one hand, deepen the crisis of passing on the faith and, on the other hand, render a better communication possible. The better communication is visible on the side of the agents and listeners, and in the content as well. The process of passing on the faith has important features, in which laymen can make their own contribution to the depth and vitality of the message. Particular attention is paid to family, school, Christian communities and parish. Along with these places, one should also pay attention to means such as catechesis, liturgy, popular devotion and mass media, which seem to be the best ones suited for the objective. In spite of numerous and serious difficulties which we encounter in the process of handing over our faith, the Church will find the key to the new revival of its mission at the feet of its Lord and Master.

Census from the year 2001 shows that up to 73 % of the population list Catholic as their religious denomination. The same statistics also shows that 60 % of these are either 'casual' practitioners, people with naive beliefs, those with superstitious religious beliefs, or syncretists (new age thinkers), and only up to 38 % can be considered as the 'core faithful'. The sociologists explain the growth of overall trust in the church here with a social conformity to religious traditions. It seems that there is a meeting of our religious and national heritage, history, and traditions with the need to preserve and propagate the living faith and true values. It is expected that the deep worldwide social and cultural changes will also affect the Christian life style here. The church, following the 2nd Vatican Council, responded to new situations by renewing the catechumenal ministry. The liturgical-pastoral book 'Ordo initiationis christianae adultorum' became an exceptional instrument of this ministry. Its translation into Slovak was welcomed by all the Slovak bishops, who immediately prepared Statute of catechumenate. The conditions were thus established to begin the development of catechumenal ministry here.
