520 |a This article presents the results of research of levels of participation in mandatory religious practices (Sunday Mass, confession and Ester Holy Communion) as well as voluntary practices like Holy Mass on weekdays and other religious celebrations. The research has been executed among the high school students in a city of Kalisz (456) and students in a city of Poznan (426). Studies have shown Sunday Mass is regularly attended by 42.2% of respondents, irregularly by 19.8% and occasionally by 10.5%. Holy Mass regular attendees include 74,5% of deeply religious people, 58.4% of religious ones and 27.0% of being religiously neutral. On the other hand, 23.8% of respondents did not attend Sunday Mass, and among them the religiously indifferent people (67.6%) dominate over the believers (19.0%). Holy Confession and Easter Holy Communion are participated in each year by 36.6% respondents and less frequently by 13.2% of respondents. This practice was met by 70.2% of highly religious and 23.2% of religiously neutral respondents. On the other hand, this practice was not met by the 45.7% of respondents, including 70.4% of religiously neutral and 25.1% of believers. Respondents also presented their own attitude to the sacral aspects of the Sunday: 48.9% believe that Sunday is a holy day, and 46.6% considered it a normal working day, or as a leisure day. Respondents also declared their participation in the Holy Mass on weekdays - 24.1% did, and 71.4% did not participate. In addition, 52.0% stated that they pray during the week, including 33.9% doing so on every day and 18.1% less frequently, while 43.7% claimed not to pray at all. Throughout a year up to 48.3% respondents used Holy Confession and participated in the Holy Communion (53.5%), while 40.6% and 40.8% did not meet those religious practices. Concluding, the religious activity of high school students and students is very diverse and is more likely to be on average level, what appears to be far from what it is expected by the Catholic Church.
