Invoking the pastoral constitution in the contemporary world Gaudium et spes it may be concluded that the Church, proceeding the Christ's work, is obliged to study and interpret the signs of the times in the clear light of the Gospel. It should be done so as to answer the modern men questions and to come up to men’s expectations in the most effective way adapted to theirs mentality. (Vgl. GS 4). (Zur Erfüllung dieses ihres Auftrags obliegt der Kirche allzeit die Pflicht, nach den Zeichen der Zeit zu forschen und sie im Licht des Evangeliums zu deuten). In the creative tension the Church- the World, there is the pastoral work undertaken. It is the organized Church activity, carrying the Christ redemptive work out through preaching the word of God, the Liturgy, ministry and testimoning to the Christian life. There is the need for adaptation to new, constantly changing conditions. Otherwise, even the most effective ways of the Church activity are in danger of ossification and maladjustment to the various modern challenges. The Church is faced with a task to get to know and understand the World, to which it is sent by Christ himself. One of the modern challenges is the demographical situation of Poland, which is the reflection of the European tendencies. The problem mentioned above is crucial not only for politicians, economists and sociologists but also for the ministry. The European and Polish societies are getting older. This phenomenon generates many various social problems which influence the pastoral activity of the Church. The given phenomenon analysis, presented in the following article, requires the research of the consequences that arose due to the demographical situation of Europe and Poland. What is more, it requires the presentation of some possible pastoral care initiatives (concerning families and the elders) as well as conducting charitable activities. Furthermore, the analysis shows the actions, that should be taken into consideration by the Polish Church while preparing pastoral programmes.

In the twenty-first century, the teaching of Pope Francis, and earlier John Paul II and Benedict XVI, by showing the role and place of the elderly in society, restores respect for them. The Pope wants the elderly to be respected and cared for with proper attention. It proves that the elderly are not only beneficiaries but also donors. Therefore, seniors are a valuable support for younger generations, because they bring wisdom and life experience, family and nation history, and are also witnesses of faith. According to the Pope, in the past, respect for the elderly was some kind of determinant of humanism. Undoubtedly, this should also be the case now, in order to positively testify to the quality of the 21st century civilization. Thus, the elderly cannot be neglected and rejected.

W XXI wieku nauczanie papieża Franciszka, a także wcześniej Jana Pawła II i Benedykta XVI, ukazując rolę i miejsce osób starszych w społeczeństwie, przywraca im szacunek. Papież chce, by osoby w podeszłym wieku były szanowane i z właściwą uwagą otoczone troską. Udowadnia on, że ludzie starsi są nie tylko beneficjentami, lecz także dawcami. Dlatego seniorzy stanowią cenne oparcie dla młodszych pokoleń, ponieważ niosą mądrość i doświadczenie życiowe, historię rodziny i narodu, a także są świadkami wiary. Według papieża, w przeszłości szacunek wobec osób starszych był pewnego rodzaju czynnikiem warunkującym humanizm. Niewątpliwie tak również powinno być i teraz, aby pozytywnie świadczyć o jakości cywilizacji XXI wieku. Toteż starsi ludzie nie mogą być lekceważeni i odrzucani.
