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

The advancement of technology that continues to develop today can help accelerate and simplify human work. Technological progress facilitates communication without limitations of space and time. Easy internet access makes it easier to obtain various types of information. However, the vast amount of information available online can also lead to the spread of hoaxes and misinformation. This makes digital literacy crucial for the public to distinguish between valid and invalid information. Social media, as an easily accessible form of information technology, can serve as an educational medium for promoting digital literacy. Social media as a model for digital literacy can also be applied in science education by providing students with worksheets and asking them to review information found on social media related to specific science topics. This approach not only strengthens students’ digital literacy skills but also deepens their understanding of scientific concepts by connecting them with real-world issues and current information trends. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data derived from previous research conducted over the past ten years. The results show that digital literacy is essential for communities in utilizing technology effectively. A high level of digital literacy enables individuals to differentiate between accurate and inaccurate information. The opportunities for using social media in digital literacy education include enhanced collaborative communication, engagement and accessibility, empowerment, lifelong learning, and the promotion of innovative educational practices. The challenges, however, include limited access and resource constraints, barriers to digital literacy, privacy and security concerns, and ethical and professional considerations. These findings support the strategic integration of social media into public education systems as a tool to enhance both scientific and digital literacy, especially among youth

Abstract

This study is based on the conviction that love for one’s homeland is an integral part of Christian faith, which must be lived out concretely in national and social life. The Catholic Church in Indonesia affirms that patriotism is not merely a moral or political attitude, but an expression of faith manifested through prayer, symbols, and songs within the celebration of the Eucharist. The purpose of this study is to explore how the value of love for the homeland is embodied and expressed liturgically as a contextual form of Catholic faith. This research employed a library research method by examining official Church documents as well as relevant theological and pastoral literature. The analysis was carried out through a descriptive-theological approach that integrates conceptual and contextual perspectives. The findings reveal that love for the homeland in the Eucharistic celebration is manifested through thanksgiving prayers for the nation, the inculturation of national symbols, and the use of patriotic hymns as expressions of faith and gratitude. The Eucharist serves as a sacred meeting point between faith and nationhood, forming believers to be faithful Catholics and true citizens. The study implies that liturgical inculturation plays a vital role as a medium of faith formation and national character building within the Indonesian Catholic Church.
