Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of social communication based on the Inter Mirifica document in the lives of Catholic Youth (OMK) at the Sta. Maria of Mount Carmel Parish, Sta. Maria Assumpta Kupang. The rapid development of digital communication media has significantly influenced the faith, social relationships, and pastoral participation of Catholic youth, creating both opportunities and challenges for the Church. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving Catholic Youth members, the Head of OMK, the Head of KUB, and the Parish Priest. The data were analyzed through data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, play an important role in facilitating communication, disseminating information about church activities, strengthening faith formation, and fostering relationships among community members. However, excessive use of social media may expose young people to content inconsistent with Christian values, reduce direct interpersonal communication, and weaken spiritual life. Therefore, the Church should strengthen pastoral guidance, digital literacy, and responsible social communication to help Catholic youth use digital media wisely, critically, and in accordance with Christian values.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of social communication, as articulated in the Inter Mirifica document, in the lives of Catholic Youth (OMK) within the Basic Ecclesial Community (KUB) of St. Mary of Mount Carmel, St. Mary Assumpta Parish. The study is motivated by the rapid development of digital communication media, which has significantly influenced the faith, social interactions, and pastoral engagement of young Catholics. Social media serves not only as a platform for communication and entertainment but also presents opportunities and challenges for youth ministry. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving Catholic youth members, the OMK leader, the KUB coordinator, and the parish priest. Data were analyzed through data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that social communication plays a vital role in strengthening community relationships, disseminating Church-related information, fostering faith formation, and encouraging active participation in ecclesial activities through platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. However, excessive and inappropriate use of social media may also result in reduced face-to-face interaction, exposure to content inconsistent with Christian values, and declining spiritual awareness. The study concludes that the principles of Inter Mirifica remain highly relevant in guiding Catholic youth toward responsible, critical, and ethical use of digital media. Therefore, the Church should strengthen pastoral accompaniment, digital literacy education, and communication formation to support faith development and active participation in the Church's mission in the digital era.
