The beginning of the new century brought liveliness in the interest of ethics in the world of business as well as among the organizations involved in the charitable activities, education and health. Caritas in Poland undertook many actions serving development of morality and religiosity of its full time workers and volunteers. Caring for spiritual, religious and ethical dimension of work, Caritas desires to deepen the motivation of their activities and enriches their actions with the evangelical meaning. Calls for attention to see the difference between philanthropy and christian mercy, which is the duty of every believer. Underlines the role of faith, hope and christian love in activities undertaken for the poor. We present in this article the rich teaching of John Paul II and Benedict XVI regarding voluntary work. The Popes explain, that in the work of Caritas counts professionalism of course, but even more the love for the poor, elderly, sick and handicapped. That love gives sense of diakonia in the Church. Shows how it is important for Caritas workers and volunteers to respect the ethical Code as well as their religious formation. The ethical Code portrays values important to workers and volunteers of Caritas, influencing their attitude towards others. We underline the necessity of placing the moral requirements for all those involved in the charity work in the Church and on behalf of the Church.
