Abstract

Manusia adalah dia yang mencari, mengejar, menyerahkan diri, bermimpi dan menciptakan sejarah hidupnya sendiri. Manusia yang terdiri dari badan dan jiwa terus berjuang untuk mencapai kepenuhan dirinya.

Abstract

This study investigates the empowering role of contextual catechesis in strengthening rural faith communities, drawing on qualitative research conducted in Stasi Rondo Woing, Sita Parish, Diocese of Ruteng, Indonesia. Data obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation reveal significant challenges, including limited trained catechists, low parishioner participation, insufficient structural support, irregular catechetical practices, and geographic as well as infrastructural constraints. Despite these barriers, the findings highlight substantial opportunities such as strong communal values, openness to faith formation, the presence of committed local leaders, and available pastoral support from parish and diocesan structures. The analysis demonstrates that contextual catechesis—rooted in local culture, adapted to socio-economic realities, and implemented through participatory approaches like Christian Based Communities and family-based catechesis—can enhance engagement, deepen faith understanding, and foster sustainable community formation. The study concludes that contextualized pastoral strategies are essential for empowering rural Catholic communities and ensuring the long-term vitality of their faith life.

Abstract

This study examines how catechesis can serve as a transformative force for sustaining faith resilience in communities negotiating the pressures of secularization and rapid social change. Drawing on qualitative research conducted in Stasi Rondo Woing, Diocese of Ruteng, Indonesia—a rural Catholic community marked by communal solidarity, dense kinship networks, and limited pastoral infrastructure—the findings reveal that secularizing influences reshape religious participation by shifting priorities and weakening traditional transmission pathways. Yet the social capital embedded in communal and familial life emerges as a critical resource sustaining faith. When catechesis is contextual, dialogical, and rooted in these relational networks, it strengthens believers’ capacity to interpret social change through a faith lens and fosters resilient religious identity. The article argues that catechesis becomes transformative not through doctrinal instruction alone but through its ability to mobilize social capital and embed faith formation within everyday communal life.
