Abstract

Liturgical activities are the center of the Church’s faith life and serve as the primary means of fostering the faith of Catholic communities. However, many parish outstation members still require guidance regarding the order of the Eucharistic Celebration, the roles of liturgical ministers, and the enrichment of liturgical music. This community service activity was carried out at St. Christopher Delawau Outstation, Christ the King Gido Parish, on Sunday, November 9, 2025, by the Dian Mandala Choir group. The purpose of this activity was to introduce the proper order of the Eucharistic Celebration, to socialize Latin Ordinarium songs, and to build a spirit of fraternity in faith. The methods used included the Eucharistic Celebration, liturgical practice, choir training, demonstrations of liturgical duties, and fraternal interaction. The results of the activity indicated improved understanding among the faithful regarding the Eucharistic Celebration, enhanced skills in liturgical ministries (conductor, lector, psalmist, homilist), and the development of emotional closeness as fellow believers. This community service demonstrates that practice-based and dialogical approaches have a positive impact on strengthening the quality of liturgy among outstation communities.

Abstract

The veneration of the cross on Good Friday constitutes a central rite in the liturgy of the Catholic Church, making present the mystery of Christ’s passion and death as the heart of Christian faith. In pastoral practice, however, this rite is often understood primarily as a personal devotional act or merely a liturgical custom without sufficient liturgical-theological reflection. This article analyzes the veneration of the cross within the framework of liturgical theology as a locus theologicus, highlighting its soteriological, participatory, kerygmatic, ecclesial, and eschatological dimensions. Employing a qualitative approach through library research, the study engages Sacred Scripture, magisterial documents, and relevant theological literature. The findings demonstrate that the veneration of the cross is not simply an expression of individual piety but an anamnetic and performative ecclesial act that actualizes faith in Christ’s redemptive work, enables participation in His passion, proclaims divine love manifested on the cross, and fosters eschatological hope. Consequently, the rite affirms the liturgy as an action of Christ and the Church, shaping the soteriological awareness and ecclesial identity of the faithful while encouraging conscious and active participation in the Paschal Mystery. Key words: Good Friday; veneration of the cross; anamnesis; redemption.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the application of the Jigsaw learning method in increasing students' interest in learning in Catholic Religious Education. This research is based on the fact that the application of monotonous teaching methods tends to result in low student engagement in the learning process, which in turn affects their interest in learning. In this context, the Jigsaw method is viewed as one of the cooperative learning alternatives that can encourage students learn actively, responsibly, and collaboratively in groups. In this study, a qualitative descriptive approach was used through a literature review. Data were obtained through the study various relevant bibliographic sources, and then analysed descriptively through the stages of collection, selection, classification, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The research shows that the Jigsaw learning method can increase students' interest in learning, as this method encourages students to be more active in the learning process, more responsible in understanding and conveying the material, and more capable of collaborating with their peers. The Jigsaw method also contributes to the creation of a more dynamic, participatory, and meaningful learning atmosphere. Therefore, the Jigsaw learning method is a strategic alternative that should be implemented to improve the quality of Catholic Religious Education.

Abstract

This research investigates the concepts of heaven and hell within Nias culture and compares them with Catholic Church teachings, exploring their implications for Catholic Religious Education (PAK). Driven by the disparity in eschatological understanding between local culture and Catholic doctrine, and the crucial role of inculturation in faith life, a qualitative approach employing literature review was adopted. Data sources included Church documents, books, and relevant scholarly journals. Findings reveal that Nias culture perceives post-mortem existence not as a dualistic heaven or hell, but as a continuation in the spirit world, influenced by social status and adherence to tradition. In contrast, Catholic teachings define heaven and hell as outcomes of humanity's relationship with God. The inculturation process highlights a dialogue between cultural values and Christian faith, demonstrating that integrating local cultural values into PAK can enhance students' faith experience, making learning more relevant and transformative within their contexts.
