Abstract

The study is grounded in the increasing prevalence of practical lifestyles among adolescents, which has led to a high consumption of single-use products and growing waste production in school environments. This phenomenon reflects not only an ecological issue but also a crisis of awareness in how creation is treated. From the perspective of Catholic faith, Laudato Si’ emphasizes that the environmental crisis is rooted in distorted ways of thinking and a throwaway culture, thus requiring an approach that engages moral and spiritual dimensions. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through observation and brief interviews with students, focusing on the implementation of the Friday Zero Waste Movement. The findings indicate that simple practices, such as: bringing personal food containers, reducing single-use plastics, and managing waste independently, can foster students’ ecological awareness. These habits also cultivate values of responsibility, self-discipline, and solidarity. Therefore, the Friday Zero Waste Movement functions not only as an environmental program but also as a concrete means of developing ecological spirituality. Catholic youth play a strategic role as agents of change who embody their faith through tangible actions in caring for our “common home.”

Abstract

This study examines the meaning and function of the greeting Horas within the context of Batak Toba Catholic communities, focusing on its relevance and application to Catholic faith values in daily life. As a traditional Batak salutation, Horasserves not only as a medium of social communication but also represents theological and cultural dimensions embodying concepts of salvation, harmony, and well-being from a Catholic perspective. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and literature review of cultural texts and relevant Catholic Church documents. The findings show that the philosophical meaning of Horas is coherently linked to Catholic teachings regarding love, peace, and hope for eternal life, functioning as a medium for faith inculturation within Batak culture. The practice of Horas among Batak Catholics exemplifies harmonious integration between local cultural values and Christian spirituality, shaping a strong religious identity amid cultural plurality. This study affirms the importance of inculturative approaches in understanding faith expressions and encourages the preservation of local noble values in the development of religious life that is contextual and relevant for contemporary Indonesian society.
