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

Human being was created by God in His image and endowed with noble dignity. God requests human being to care and respect their body as God's temple. One challenge human dignity to preserve the dignity was plastic surgery, especially in order to change the gender. The method used in this research is the literature review. The authors gather information about plastic surgery through books, articles or journals, the internet, and the Church Documents. The researchers found that the Catholic Church supports the plastic surgery with the aim of repairing defective body organs to support optimizing function. Thus, this research purposes to promote moral value so that the people are able to choose the right goals for plastic surgery. The Catholic Church endorses plastic surgery which is useful to preserve human dignity as the image of God. The researchers hope that this study will be valuable in providing knowledge about plastic surgery, such as reconstructive surgery and aesthetic surgery. Hence, the plastic surgery requires being prepared wisely, both from medical personnel who will perform the plastic surgery and the patients who will undergo plastic surgery. This research affords moral guidance in plastic surgery.

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

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

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.
