Abstract

Manggarai's Teing Hang rites provide as a live medium for the internalization and expression of ancestral proverbs that govern social values and collective behaviours. The purpose of this study is to uncover the significance of the proverbs used in the Teing Hang ritual and to comprehend how the Manggarai community internalizes these expressions. Data were gathered utilizing a qualitative method incorporating elders, cultural experts, and the younger generation through in-depth interviews and interactive observations. Thematic data analysis was used to identify and comprehend the meaning by utilizing semiotic and pragmatic theories. The data triangulation procedure was also utilized to strengthen the validity and reliability of the research findings. The findings demonstrate that Teing Hang proverbs serve as a tool for ritual communication as well as having deep symbolic connotations that enhance the community's social, spiritual, and cultural relations. Learning to live with these local expressions offers a window into the difficulties the younger generation has upholding traditional norms in the face of globalization. By incorporating local culture into teaching and learning instruction, these findings are expected to contribute to the development of understanding about the importance of preserving culture and language in the modern era.

Abstract

Catechesis, as a contextual faith education, in Indonesia is realized through the Catechesis of the Ummah, which emphasizes social analysis in the light of faith with a practical hermeneutic approach. This approach directs faith education to the act of liberation from injustice. Although successful in involving the people in society, this approach tends to be pragmatic and does not pay attention to the transcendental dimension of faith, namely communion with God. This study aims to evaluate practical hermeneutic approaches in the Catechesis of the Ummah in Indonesia, identify its impact on the appreciation of faith, and offer a more balanced hermeneutic alternative. Through literature review and qualitative content analysis of Church documents, academic works, and pastoral experiences, the research found the dominance of practical hermeneutics, the tendency of the Bible as a moral guide, the lack of faith transformation, and ideally the Ecclesiastical Base Community (KBG) as a forum for catechesis. In conclusion, in order to guarantee a balance of practical and transcendental dimensions, practical hermeneutics needs to be combined with post-hermeneutics. Post-hermeneutics emphasizes the role of the Word of God as a divine revelation that leads to the transformation of life and encourages a personal encounter with Christ, the primary goal of faith education.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital catechesis, especially in dioceses with limited access to in-person faith formation. This study explores the effectiveness of interactive pedagogy within digital catechesis in the Diocese of Ruteng-Flores-NTT during the post-COVID-19 new normal. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were gathered from structured interviews with catechists, clergy, and young Catholics, as well as participant observation of Zoom sessions, WhatsApp discussions, and YouTube content. The findings reveal that interactive digital methods—particularly Zoom-based catechesis—promoted higher engagement, dialogue, and deeper faith reflection, especially among youth. However, structural challenges such as poor internet connectivity and lack of catechist training limited full participation. The study highlights the importance of symbolic language, participatory learning methods, and enhanced digital competencies for catechists. These insights contribute to future strategies for effective and context-sensitive digital catechesis.

Abstract

Gereja meyakini bahwa Kristus adalah sukacita Injil bagi semua. Mewartakan sukacita injil ini adalah tugas seluruh anggota Gereja, terutama para katekis. Tantangan untuk tugas pewartaan di tengah era postmodern tidaklah gampang. Generasi postmodern cenderung curiga terhadap kebenaran yang bersifat universal. Akan tetapi dalam hati kecilnya, generasi ini selalu bergumul untuk menemukan kebenaran sejati. Pewartaan dalam hal ini perlu mengedepankan kebebasan, kesukarelaan, dan sikap keibuan Gereja. Di sini katekis hendaknya menjadi saksi, teman seperjalanan, bentara sabda, dan pembangun komunitas. Dan untuk tugas ini diperlukan katekis-katekis yang berkarakter.

Abstract

Model “Lonto Leok” dalam Katekese Kontekstual Gereja Lokal Manggarai. Katekese sebagai proses pendidikan iman selalu bersifat kontekstual karena iman pada hakekatnya selalu terlibat dalam pergumulan hidup yang konkrit. Katekese Gereja lokal Manggarai harus bersifat kontekstual. Dia harus menyentuh cita rasa pergumulan iman umat setempat. Pendekatan yang cocok adalah model “lonto leok”. Katekese “lonto leok” merupakan musyawarah iman melalui mana umat membahas persoalanya secara bersama-sama dalam terang iman Kristen. Katekese “lonto leok” sudah berjalan selama ini di KBG-KBG. Penekanan pada hermeneutik praktis yang digunakan di dalamnya membuat katekese “lonto leok” belum sungguh-sungguh menghantar umat kepada perjumpaan pribadi dengan Kristus, Sang Sabda kehidupan. Ke depan katekese “lonto leok” mesti mengedepankan hermeneutik paska, yang melihat hidup sebagai misteri panggilan, di dalamnya tersembunyi jejak-jejak Allah yang menyapa manusia untuk senantiasa terlibat dalam pembangunan Kerajaan Allah di tengah dunia. Dengan cara ini katekese “lonto leok” dapat membimbing umat Manggarai menjadi pribadi-pribadi yang beriman solid, mandiri, dan solider.

Abstract

Gereja pada dasarnya adalah penginjil. Tugasnya adalah memproklamirkan. Dalam tugas ini, ia tidak hanya melanjutkan isi pewartaan seperti yang terkandung dalam teks khotbah, tetapi juga memperhitungkan konteks pewartaan. Dengan demikian pewartaan selalu holistik. Pewartaan holistik selalu mengandaikan dialog teks dan konteks. Mengingat konteks multi-wajah, model pewartaan gereja menghormati keragaman pendekatan. Khotbah Gereja tidak boleh terjebak dalam satu model tunggal, yang menyebabkan pewartaannya menjadi kurang kontekstual dan tidak menghadapi orang-orang dalam berbagai situasi. Pewartaan holistik ini didukung oleh agen pastoral profesional. Para agen pastoral harus baik dalam kompetensi akademik, spiritual, pribadi, dan sosial.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine the direction and practice of people catechesis in the 21st century of Ruteng Diocese, namely in the period 2010-2020. The research method used is documentation. Based on theory and document study, it is known that the practice of catechesis of the people in Ruteng Diocese during the 21st century was carried out in Basic Chriatian Communities. The basic direction is the development of the Kingdom of God in various fields of life, especially in the fields of culture, education, environment, ecclesiastical structure, politics, family, lay ministry, faith and the Eucharist. Kingdom-oriented catechesis is holistic. The aim is not only to develop understanding but also to prioritize the appreciation and manifestation of faith in daily concrete actions. Therefore the process is not monologue but interactive-communicative. The method of 3 M is that the people together look at their situation, evaluate it in the light of the Scriptures, and carry out follow-up actions. The people's satisfaction with the implementation of the people catechesis has not been satisfactory because the facilitators are not creative and the lack of skill in facilitating people catechesis meetings. In the future, it is necessary to provide adequate training for these facilitators

Abstract

In the face of the rapid development of technology and the increasing demand for efficient energy management, controlling household lights remotely has become an essential feature of modern smart homes. This research aims to develop and test a remote lighting control system using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, based on Arduino, which can be operated via a smartphone application to improve energy efficiency. The method used is an experimental approach with a quantitative design, where the system's functionality is evaluated in real-life settings. The system was tested across different locations, and the results show that it functions well with response times ranging from 1.6 to 3.99 seconds, demonstrating the system's dynamic responsiveness. The system allows users to operate lights remotely, helping reduce energy consumption in households. The implications of this study suggest that the IoT-based lighting control system can significantly contribute to energy savings, increase user convenience, and reduce carbon emissions. The findings also open up possibilities for expanding smart home technologies in resource-constrained environments. Further research is recommended to test the scalability of the system in larger residential settings and to explore its integration with other smart home devices for more comprehensive energy management solutions.

Abstract

This study explores how communal solidarity and familial bonds function as forms of social capital that strengthen catechetical ministry in rural Catholic communities, drawing evidence from the pastoral reality of Stasi Rondo Woing. Although the community faces persistent challenges—such as limited catechist formation, low participation, and geographical constraints—the research reveals that deeply rooted cultural values of mutual cooperation, kinship, and shared responsibility provide a powerful foundation for revitalizing faith formation. Using a qualitative approach involving interviews, observations, and documentation, the study shows that these social capital dimensions significantly shape how catechesis is received, practiced, and sustained. Communal solidarity encourages collective engagement in catechetical gatherings, while family-based relational networks foster intergenerational transmission of faith and leadership emergence within small Christian communities. When catechesis is integrated into these relational and cultural structures, it becomes more relevant, participatory, and transformative, enabling the community to take active ownership of its spiritual development. This study concludes that leveraging communal and familial social capital is essential for building resilient and empowered catechetical ministries in rural settings, offering a model that aligns with contextual pastoral approaches and supports long-term ecclesial vitality.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated unprecedented digital transformation across religious institutions, with approximately 80% of congregations worldwide adopting digital ministry by mid-2020. However, existing research predominantly examines isolated catechetical models, neglects semiotic dimensions, inadequately analyzes pedagogical mechanisms across platforms, and overlooks context-specific implementation in infrastructure-diverse settings, particularly in the Global South where 60% of Catholics reside. This study examined how the Diocese of Ruteng, Indonesia's largest Catholic diocese, implemented digital catechesis during 2020–2022, focusing on model integration, language strategies, pedagogical approaches, and contextual adaptation across heterogeneous infrastructural contexts. A qualitative phenomenological design involved 39 participants (diocesan leaders, priests, catechists, and young Catholics) selected through purposive maximum variation sampling across urban, sub-district, and rural parishes. Data collection combined structured interviews, platform observations of 150+ posts, and document analysis. Thematic analysis generated three major themes with methodological triangulation ensuring rigor. Findings revealed simultaneous deployment of three complementary catechetical models creating comprehensive ecosystems. Persistent misalignment existed between content production (55–75% conceptual language) and youth preferences (symbolic language generating substantially higher interaction), attributed to semiotic capacity gaps rather than awareness deficits. Pedagogical effectiveness proved fundamentally constrained by facilitator capacity rather than platform affordances, with asynchronous platforms remaining underutilized despite dialogic potential. Rural parishes developed innovative "digitally-sourced analog catechesis" downloading content for offline face-to-face sessions demonstrating that digital transformation in resource-constrained contexts requires reconceptualizing digital-analog boundaries. Successful digital catechesis demands integrated model strategies, semiotic capacity building, facilitator training for asynchronous pedagogy, access equity attention, and institutional support for hybrid approaches. Effectiveness depends on context-responsive adaptation rather than uniform solutions. Contribution: This research introduces "digitally-sourced analog catechesis" as a fourth model in digital catechesis typology and establishes "semiotic capacity" as a critical variable in content effectiveness, challenging technological determinism while providing evidence-based frameworks for religious education in infrastructure-diverse contexts, with implications for faith formation practices globally.
