(New Evangelization Pastoral Care in the Litoměřice Diocese in the Footsteps of Slavic Missionaries Cyril and Methodius)

Abstract: The aim of the research study is to point out the significance of Cyril and Methodius in the geographical location of the Lithoměřice diocese in the 21st century. Through research, we tried to get an idea of the perception of terms such as the new evangelization, pastoral care, or the importance and priority categorization of Cyril and Methodius among the current residents of the region. The research group consisted of 563 respondents – 37% women (N = 208) and 63% men (N = 355). The age distribution of the research participants was varied and included in several age groups without age restrictions. Regarding the religious structure, 58% (N = 328) of the participants were unaffiliated, 38% (N = 213) claimed to be Christian and 1% (N = 5) Jewish, another religion was defined by 3% (N = 17) of the participants in research. We divided the participants into several groups according to the size of their place of residence. The results of our research point to insufficient knowledge about the significance of Cyril and Methodius and their pastoral and missionary activities.
