Abstract

This article discusses the leva mass in Lamalera as one of the examples of the inculturation of the Catholic faith in local culture on the island of Lembata, East Nusa Tenggara. Inculturation is understood as a process of encounter between faith and culture, so that the proclamation of the gospel can be deeply lived in the context of the life of the local people. Through the leva mass, cultural elements such as sea symbols, boats (tena), traditional dances, traditional clothing, and regional songs are harmoniously integrated into the liturgy of the Catholic Church. For the Lamalera community, the sea is not only a source of livelihood, but a symbol of God's presence and power that blesses and protects human life. The celebration of the Mass emphasizes that God is present not only in the church building, but also in every aspect of human life, including work. The Leva Mass can also strengthen the spirit of brotherhood, solidarity, and the responsibility of the people towards His created nature. The people learn to be grateful for marine products, respect the environment, and work with the spirit of love and sacrifice. Thus, the leva mass is not just a religious ritual, but also a faith and cultural education that helps the people in understanding their call to live in harmony with nature and the will of God. Through the Mass of Leva, the Church in Lamalera portrays the living face of faith, the source of the gospel but rooted in the local culture.

Abstract

This study examines in depth the meaning of gratitude expressed in the traditional Wu’u Nura ceremony in Daniwato Village, West Solor, as well as in the Eucharistic celebration, which stands as the central liturgy of the Catholic Church. The Wu’u Nura ceremony is a communal tradition of thanksgiving for the harvest, expressed through symbolic rituals, offerings of agricultural produce, collective prayers, and ceremonial practices that reflect a harmonious relationship between humans, nature, ancestors, and God. Through these rituals, the community strengthens social cohesion, cultural identity, and religious awareness that have been passed down across generations. In contrast, gratitude within the Eucharistic celebration is understood as an expression of faith and a theological response to God’s salvific grace manifested through Christ’s sacrifice, made present in the consecration of bread and wine. Using a qualitative method and comparative approach, this study reveals that although differing in expression, structure, and theological foundations, both practices uphold gratitude as a universal value that fosters spiritual relationships and social solidarity. The findings affirm that dialogue between local culture and Church liturgy—within the spirit of inculturation—can enrich the understanding of faith, deepen spiritual life, and support the preservation of meaningful local traditions. This study contributes significantly to cultural and theological scholarship, as well as pastoral efforts aimed at fostering harmony between religion and culture in pluralistic societies.

Abstract

As a student of Catholic Religious Education, the author views Midodareni as one of the Javanese cultural heritages that contains spiritual and moral values in harmony with the teachings of the Catholic faith. This tradition is carried out on the night before marriage as a form of prayer and a request for blessings for the bride and groom. Through a descriptive qualitative study based on library research, this paper aims to explore the theological meaning and relevance of the Midodareni tradition in the light of the Catholic sacrament of marriage, as well as to highlight how the process of faith inculturation takes place in the lives of Catholics in Java. The findings show that Midodareni is not merely a cultural ritual but a living expression of faith, where the values of holiness, fidelity, prayer, and hope in God’s grace form its central meaning. The Catholic Church, through the spirit of inculturation, values local culture as a means of bringing the Gospel into the life of the community without diminishing the truth of faith. As a future Catholic religious educator, reflecting on this tradition fosters an awareness that the proclamation of faith cannot be separated from the cultural context of the faithful. Therefore, understanding Midodareni is not only an effort to preserve culture but also a concrete form of faith education that is contextual and rooted in the values of humanity, love, and God’s salvation.

Abstract

Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini dilaksanakan di Stasi St. Antonius Long Ayap sebagai respons atas berbagai persoalan karakter anak, seperti rendahnya keterlibatan dalam kegiatan rohani, kebiasaan berkata kasar, perilaku agresif, sikap kurang hormat kepada orang tua akibat kecanduan gim daring, serta praktik perundungan di antara teman sebaya. Permasalahan tersebut menunjukkan pentingnya upaya pembinaan karakter berbasis nilai-nilai iman dan kebersamaan. Program ini bertujuan membentuk karakter anak melalui kegiatan Serikat Kepausan Anak dan Remaja Misioner (SEKAMI) dengan menekankan penguatan kedisiplinan, kesadaran rohani, dan semangat misioner. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan pendampingan, edukatif, dan partisipatif, yang dilaksanakan secara rutin setiap Sabtu sore dan Minggu selama enam bulan, dari Januari hingga Juni 2025. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kedisiplinan, tumbuhnya kesadaran rohani, berkembangnya semangat misioner, serta penguatan nilai kebersamaan di antara anak-anak peserta SEKAMI. Dengan demikian, pendekatan edukatif dan partisipatif yang diterapkan terbukti efektif dalam mendukung pembentukan karakter anak secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Katekese partisipatif adalah pendekatan penting untuk membangun kesadaran spiritual dan karakter anak secara holistik. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini mengatasi keterbatasan metode katekese tradisional yang satu arah di daerah pedalaman, khususnya Desa Sengayan. Tujuan utamanya adalah menganalisis peran katekese partisipatif dalam meningkatkan kesadaran spiritual dan pembentukan karakter anak di konteks tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah Aksi Partisipatif (PAR), berfokus pada solusi praktis melalui implementasi selama 6 bulan. Kegiatan melibatkan 25 anak usia 3-12 tahun. Data dikumpulkan secara kualitatif melalui observasi perilaku terstruktur, wawancara mendalam dengan orang tua/katekis, serta analisis naratif refleksi anak. Hasil kualitatif menunjukkan perubahan perilaku signifikan, mencakup: peningkatan keterlibatan aktif (antusiasme 90%), munculnya inisiatif kolaboratif (karakter/empati), dan kemampuan menghubungkan ajaran iman dengan kehidupan sehari-hari (kesadaran spiritual). Ini membuktikan bahwa katekese partisipatif berbasis PAR merupakan sarana strategis yang efektif untuk menginternalisasi nilai-nilai iman dan membentuk fondasi rohani yang matang di tengah keterbatasan.
