    Abstract

    Initiation catechesis is a time of religious education and catechetical formation for students
    from grades 1–4 of primary school. Its most important goal is to prepare students for full
    participation in the Holy Mass. First Holy Communion takes place in the third grade, so
    the last year of formation involves mystagogical catechesis. The article presents the current
    program assumptions of catechesis and religious education, including Eucharistic formation. They are considered in terms of the three functions of catechesis – didactic, educational and initiatory, as well as the basic educational environments – family, parish
    and school. In the context of the program assumptions, the pastoral practice of initiation
    catechesis is also discussed, along with an attempt to assess the effectiveness of the actions
    taken. Against this background, the mystagogical catechesis postulated in catechetical
    documents is also taken into account.
