In presenting readers with the issues concerning the parish discussed here, this article aims to say a few words about its size, as well as the age and education of the faithful.The number of parish residents in the years 1970–83 was highly dynamic. In 1970, 7,100 people lived there; in 1972, 11,500; in 1979, 12,019; and in 1983, 12,892. The gradual increase in the number of parishioners can be explained by the parish’s territorial expansion in 1972, as well as migration and natural population growth. Although the overall number allows us, from an ecological perspective, to call the administrative unit described here an urban parish, it should nevertheless be taken into account that in the estimates discussed, approximately 50 percent were devout parishioners, while approximately 25 percent each were parishioners who practised irregularly and those who were religiously indifferent. This state of affairs leads to the conclusion that the number of parish residents was not equal to the number of Catholics, but also included non-believers and indifferent people.Taking the age of the parishioners into account, it should be stated that during the period under discussion, a significant proportion were middle-aged faithful (40–60 years = 37.3 percent), who had either already given up professional work after taking early retirement or were still working in various plants, offices or institutions. The second-largest age group consisted of younger parishioners (30–40 years = 23.6 percent), occupied with paid work and raising adolescent children. The generation aged 25–30 (20.5 percent), which was taking over its parents’ responsibilities connected with work and supporting a newly established family, as well as raising small children, constituted the next age group in the parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Since these people had reached the age of 25 but had not yet turned 30, they may be described as older youth. The smallest percentage of the faithful in relation to the total number of parishioners was made up of people over 60 (18.6 percent), who were receiving the pensions to which they were entitled.Another indicator that may also help characterize the parish residents is their social position. It is difficult to determine precisely, so for the sake of approximation we speak only of the parishioners’ employment. In the years 1970–83, approximately 32 percent of the parish consisted of white-collar workers, 43 percent of manual workers, and approximately 25 percent of pensioners and disability pension recipients.Ultimately, it should be said that in the years 1970–83, the religious community of Our Lady of Perpetual Help belonged to the group of medium-sized urban parishes. It displayed average religious devotion. It was dominated by middle-aged faithful, most of whom had the status of manual workers.
