Abstract

Böwö marriage of the Nias tribe is generally interpreted as sumange (giving awards). Böwö is masi-masi/hele-hele dödö Zatua khö nono nia ono alawe (giving affection/proof of the bride's parents' love at the time of marriage). Böwö determines the agreement for the implementation of a marriage. This can take the form of money, gold and other trinkets. The aim is as a form of humanizing humans through love and living prosperously in the family. However, the current application of Böwö is contrary to the true meaning of Böwö. Recently, Böwö in Nias society has experienced a change in meaning and even received a meaning that is contrary to its true meaning. There is a decline in Böwö's understanding which leads to a materialistic aspect. Böwö became honest too expensive. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate why there is a change in the implementation of Böwö. This research specifically seeks to determine the understanding of Böwö Nias ethnic marriages on the basis of Catholic Church marriages using qualitative research which uses three data collection techniques, namely, observation, interviews and documentation. From the researcher's observations, it was found that the Böwö marriage of the Nias tribe is known and is still carried out in social life. Through interviews with informants, researchers found that in the implementation of the Böwö traditional Nias marriage, its meaning had decreased. The reality on the ground shows that some Nias people experience poverty because Böwö is too expensive. Böwö is no longer an expression of love. The informants wanted Böwö to be restored to its true meaning as masi-masi (proof of love). For this reason, it is necessary to simplify Böwö on the basis of Catholic Church marriage. This needs to be socialized to Catholics so that they truly understand and are able to practice it according to the true meaning of Böwö.

Abstract

This thesis departs from the author's awareness and interest in getting to know the lives of Christian believers who are struggling to practice their faith in this world. This thesis describes that Saint Joseph was a saint whose name was familiar to the ears of the faithful. Saint Joseph was god's choice to be entrusted to be the father of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Saint Joseph performed these duties and responsibilities humbly and faithfully to the Lord's commands. The Church then reflected on the life of this Saint Joseph and made him the Protector of the Universal Church, the Protector of the Holy Family of Nazareth, and the Protector of the Workers' Fig. Just as Saint Joseph made his life a servant of God's plan, so too did the faithful realize his calling as a herald of love. The faithful are invited to always see what God wants in a crisis-stricken life, while still trying to find creative ways and efforts to solve all of life's problems. Thus, this example of the primacy of Saint Joseph can lead the faithful to remain faithful to God until they are finally able to achieve eternal unity with God in heavenly happiness.

Abstract

Basically, children need education, guidance, and development through a directed learning process. In the millennial era that continues to grow rapidly, various activities can now be done easily, quickly, and instantly. Today's generation is greatly influenced by the rapid development of technology in the millennial era. Technological improvements have provided valuable opportunities for children to enrich their learning experiences, especially through the utilization of audio-visual catechesis approaches that can enrich their social-emotional aspects. The main goal of this approach is to understand and apply the idea of improving the social aspect of the child through audio-visual catechesis. It is important that children are given the opportunity to fully grow and develop, so that they can smoothly interact in a variety of social situations, ultimately helping them to become overall healthy individuals in church and community life. In order to understand the social psyche more deeply, it is recommended to Catholic Pastoral Officers, Catechists, and Teachers to provide audio-visual catechesis as an effective socialization tool. This activity is an important part of pastoral workers' efforts to support the growth of children today, with the aim of providing them with essential skills and positively engaging social interactions in their lives.

Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education offers significant opportunities to transform learning processes, including in Catholic Religious Education (CRE) at the senior high school level. This article aims to identify effective and ethical strategies for integrating AI into CRE instruction by considering Catholic faith values and students’ character development. The study uses a qualitative literature review approach to analyze scholarly sources and current practices of AI application in education. Findings indicate that AI can enhance personalized learning, provide real-time feedback, and create more interactive and context-rich learning experiences. Practical implementations such as adaptive learning systems, chatbots, and AI-based simulations have shown positive impacts on students' comprehension. However, challenges including teacher readiness, technological infrastructure, and ethical concerns must be addressed seriously. Therefore, integrating AI in CRE must be done thoughtfully, responsibly, and in harmony with religious and moral contexts. With careful planning, AI can become a valuable tool to deepen students' faith understanding and support holistic character formation in the digital age.

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.
