Backround: The author, in this paper, draws attention to the importance of evangelisation. The author analyses the results of the questionnaire survey for active young Slovak Catholics. The aim of the quantitative research was to find out the practice of the faith in everyday life with the emphasis on their views on evangelisation, their personal experiences and involvement in the field of evangelism which makes this research unique. Results: The results brought forth some challenges for the community leaders to create opportunities for personal conversion, which should anticipate the evangelization efforts. It is not enough to emphasize the obligation to preach the Gospel, but also to explain why this is important. The conducted research has shown that there is an important need for mutual proximity, personal encounter, testimony of authentic life and need for belonging to the community, than attractive evangelistic events and the use of modern information technology. Conclusion: Evangelization, as it is understood as a form of dialogue and mutual exchange, appears to be an appropriate way of educating and leading young people to the fullness of life. Based on the respondent’s answers, the article presents several application implications for the practice and implications for further research opportunities in the field of effective evangelisation of young people.
