ENThe article considers the specificity of public and secret forms of Catholic religiosity in the Soviet period and their role in the structure of local identities of the Polish population in the Belarusan-Lithuanian borderland. The study is based on the results of the ethnographic research of the local community of the Sopoćkinie district (North-Western part of the Grodno region, Belarus). Three types of religious practices are distinguished: everyday ones, public ones (celebrations of the church year) and secret ones. The article focuses on examining such religious practices in the context of intergroup interaction between the local Poles and the Soviet-times newcomers (mostly Belarusans and Russians) and the role of Catholic religiosity in maintaining social boundaries between this two groups.
