Abstract

This study analyzes friendship among Catholic Youth (Orang Muda Katolik—OMK in Bahasa Indonesia) as a crucial factor in forming emotional, spiritual, and social readiness for Catholic marriage. The qualitative study was conducted in two parishes—St. Fransiskus Asisi Laverna Gunungsitoli and Kristus Gembala Baik—using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that healthy, value-based friendships within the Catholic Youth community contribute significantly to fostering responsible relationships as a foundation for marriage. Key aspects supporting relational maturity include trust, open communication, mutual respect, and active participation in religious activities. These factors reinforce the psychosocial aspects necessary for building stable and meaningful relationships before entering into marriage. This study highlights the need for a more systematic approach by the Church in integrating friendship development into premarital preparation programs, particularly in pastoral care for Catholic youth. Thus, friendship is not merely a social experience but serves as a pathway toward a holy and committed family life. Further research is encouraged to explore how faith-based education can strengthen friendships as a foundation for mature relationships.

Abstract

This research was motivated by concern about the low awareness of some alumni of STP Dian Mandala Gunungsitoli in living Missio Canonica, which is part of their responsibility of ministry. The main focus of this research is to analyze the level of alumni involvement in church life, particularly in St. Maria Ratu Surga Togizita Parish, with the aim of obtaining a clear picture of their role in liturgical, catechetical, and pastoral activities. The approach used was qualitative with a case study method that allowed the researcher to explore the experiences and dynamics of alumni ministry among the congregation. Data were collected through direct observation in the parish, in-depth interviews with ten informants consisting of the parish priest, pastoral council administrators, and active members of the congregation, and also through documentation of relevant activities. The results of the study show a striking difference in alumni involvement; those who live in the parish center tend to be more active participants in various church activities, while alumni who domiciled in the station showed lower participation. Factors influencing these differences include busy work, limited follow-up development after the study period, and minimal communication with the parish. These findings provide important evaluations for STP to focus more on long-term alumni development, while also providing input for local churches to design more effective mentoring strategies. Furthermore, this study reminds alumni to reflect on their calling to ministry and live it out in their daily lives.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the role of the spirituality of the Catholic faith as the foundation of student resilience in facing the dynamics of academic life. The research uses the literature review method by examining reputable Church documents, books, and articles. The results of the study show that student resilience does not only come from psychological and social factors, but gains depth when supported by the spiritual dimension. Catholic spirituality lived through prayer, sacraments, devotion, and involvement in the community of faith provides meaning in suffering, transcendent strength, and social support that strengthen students' resilience. The integration of resilience and spirituality makes academic life not only an arena for intellectual achievement, but also a space for faith growth and spiritual maturity. Thus, the spirituality of the Catholic faith serves as a foundation that helps students not only survive academic pressure, but also develop into hopeful individuals who are ready to contribute to the Church and society.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the reality of the learning situation in the classroom where students cannot learn well due to the use of monotonous learning methods from teachers. The purpose of this research is to increase students' interest in learning by using the problem solving learning method. The method used in this research is qualitative with case study research. The results of this study are first, there is an increase in interest in learning caused by the use of problem solving methods. Second, students are increasingly active in the learning process. Third, some teachers have not maximized the use of problem solving methods, which results in less than optimal learning quality. The conclusion of this study is that the problem solving method needs to be implemented by teachers at SMPN 1 Hiliserangkai (Nias Island) so that more students are interested in learning, in addition to other methods that are more varied and interactive.

Abstract

The development of digital technology brings great opportunities as well as challenges for the development of the faith of Catholics. This article discusses the role of catechists in fostering the spirituality of the people in the digital era using the literature review method. The results show that catechists are required to not only convey the Church's teaching, but also to be present as spiritual companions through digital media such as social media, faith apps, podcasts, and virtual prayer communities. The role of catechists is evolving into creative and contextual content creators, virtual community facilitators, and digital evangelists. However, challenges arise in the form of digital distractions, the spread of misinformation, and reduced face-to-face relationships in the life of faith. With mastery of digital literacy, spirituality, and faith pedagogy, catechists are able to provide relevant and transformative services. This article confirms that catechism in the digital age plays a central role in strengthening the faith of the people and building a deep spiritual community even in a virtual space.
