This study deals with the relation of the Charity to the Catholic Church, which is its founder and is based on the survey conducted on this topic among the employees of the Diocesan Charity Plzen. Results of the above mentioned survey are compared mainly with conclusions of the Pastoral Constitution of the 2nd Vatican council 'Gaudium et Spes' as well as with the Encyclical letter of pope Benedict XVI. 'Deus caritas est'. The result is that employees of the Charity are open to the appropriate pastoral work, which in turn will support the social activities of the Charity as well as its concepts and core values.
