Abstract: Andrej Jura (1924 – 2002) was a priest of the order of Christ of the Holy Life. He fought against the adversity of the communist regime not in a reactionary and harsh way or even in a confronta-tional way like many political dissidents, but by peacefully carrying out his priestly duties and focusing mainly on the Christian education of children and youth. His fundamental influence on faith education was felt by many young people at the time (now people of mature age) in the Diocese of Bardejovwhere he worked as a pastor for a long time. Andrej Jura's work in Gaboltov dates from 1970 – 1978. From a practical point of view it was spiritually, professionally and personally quite intense. His influence on the education and formation of children and youth was significant, especially through his modest and unforced interest in everyone and his utilisation ofmodern methods of the apostolate. Thanks to his tireless work, it was possible to carry out a general renovation of the parish church of St. Adalbert in Gaboltov and to begin preparatory work on the repair of the parish building. It is not surprising that this period, which was spiritually very fruitful, took a toll on his health in the form and he developed serious health problems.

Keywords: Children, Education, Gaboltov, Parish, Renovation, Youth.
