Abstract

The study aims to examine the formation of Catholic youths’ spirituality of service through charitable sharing activities at Saint Anthony of Padua Parish, Purbayan, Surakarta. The study is grounded in the need for faith formation that is not merely cognitive but also practical, particularly in the face of increasingly complex contemporary challenges. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven informants, comprising the parish priest, youth mentors, and Catholic youths actively involved in charitable initiatives. The findings indicate that youth participation is manifested in physical, non-physical, and material forms through various contextual social activities. Such involvement is shaped by internal factors, including empathy, faith awareness, and the search for meaning in life, as well as external factors, such as support from the Church, family, and peer environment. Furthermore, charitable sharing activities play a significant role in fostering a spirituality of service among youths, as reflected in a deeper sense of gratitude, heightened social concern, and an increased capacity to integrate faith with concrete action. The study affirms that lived experiences in service constitute an essential locus for the development of a dynamic and reflective faith. Accordingly, charitable sharing activities not only generate social impact but also serve as a means of spiritual transformation, preparing young people to become active and contextually responsive agents of the Church.

Abstract

This study examines the meaning and function of the Marhata Sinamot tradition in Batak Toba customary marriage and its relationship with Catholic teaching within the framework of the sociology of religion. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature study, it draws on the thought of Durkheim, Weber, Marx, and Berger, as well as Church documents on inculturation. The findings show that Marhata Sinamot functions as a rite that reinforces social integration and kinship cohesion (Durkheim), and reflects actions driven by moral values and family social status (Weber). From Marx’s perspective, sinamot maintains economic relations and resource distribution patterns, while Berger highlights its role in shaping the social construction of reality that provides symbolic legitimacy to kinship structures. Although recognizing positive values such as respect for women’s dignity, family responsibility, and social solidarity, the Catholic Church emphasizes that sinamot does not determine the validity of the sacrament of marriage. The study concludes that Marhata Sinamot remains culturally and religiously relevant when practiced proportionally in line with Church teaching. Recommendations include pre-marital catechesis, dialogue with customary leaders, inculturated liturgical guidelines, and family economic empowerment to support faith formation and the preservation of Batak Toba cultural identity in modern society.
