Abstract

Huler Wair is a traditional cultural ritual that continues to be preserved by the Catholic community of Tilang Station, Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary Tilang Parish, Diocese of Maumere, particularly during the blessing ceremony of a new house. Passed down through generations, this ritual embodies significant religious, social, and cultural values within the local community. This study aims to analyze the community's understanding of the meaning of the Huler Wair ritual, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting such understanding, and examine efforts to preserve the ritual as part of the house-blessing tradition. A qualitative research method with a descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through structured interviews and documentation studies and analyzed using data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings reveal that the Huler Wair ritual is understood as an expression of prayer and hope for peace, safety, health, harmony, and well-being for the household members. Furthermore, the ritual symbolizes harmonious relationships among humans, God, fellow community members, and nature. The preservation of this tradition is supported by the active involvement of customary leaders, religious leaders, and community members. However, declining interest among younger generations and the growing influence of social media pose significant challenges to its continuity. Preservation efforts include involving young people in ritual activities, promoting awareness of its cultural values, and transmitting the tradition through customary and religious events to ensure that the Huler Wair ritual remains sustainable amid contemporary social change.

Abstract

sacrifice, compassion, and service to His people. These values form the foundation of the spirituality that every catechist is called to embody in carrying out the mission of evangelization. However, various challenges remain evident in pastoral ministry, including a lack of solidarity, tardiness in ministry activities, low enthusiasm in fulfilling assigned responsibilities, a tendency to speak more than to act, and limited participation in spiritual activities. This study aims to examine catechists' lived spirituality in the light of John 10:1–21, identify the factors that support and hinder its practice, and propose efforts to strengthen it. The research employs a qualitative method using a content analysis approach to analyze the collected data. The theoretical framework discusses the spirituality of catechists, the theological meaning of John 10:1–21, and its relevance to catechetical ministry. The preliminary hypothesis suggests that some catechists have not yet fully understood and internalized their vocation, resulting in a spirituality that requires further development. The findings indicate that, in general, catechists have acquired an adequate understanding of spiritual formation through continuous education and ongoing formation programs. They understand their identity and mission as sharing in Christ's offices of priest, prophet, and king, as well as their role as proclaimers of the Gospel. Nevertheless, the lived practice of this spirituality still requires continuous accompaniment and formation so that it may be more fully reflected in their attitudes, commitment to ministry, and witness in accordance with the example of Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the meaning of the Torok Tae prayer as an expression of thanksgiving for the harvest in the Eucharistic Celebration at Colol Outstation, Saint Peter Colol Parish, Diocese of Ruteng. Torok Tae is a traditional prayer of the Manggarai community that has been passed down through generations as an expression of gratitude to God for the harvest while reflecting respect for the values of life, communal solidarity, and the harmonious relationship between human beings, nature, and the Creator. This research employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with the parish priest, traditional leaders, liturgical ministers, and parishioners, as well as documentation studies. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and systematic conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the Torok Tae prayer embodies religious, theological, social, cultural, and ecological values that are closely aligned with the spirituality of thanksgiving celebrated in the Eucharist. The integration of this traditional prayer into the liturgy represents a form of liturgical inculturation that enriches the faithful's participation without diminishing the essential nature of the Eucharist as the source and summit of Christian life. Furthermore, the incorporation of Torok Tae into the Eucharistic Celebration demonstrates that local cultural values can serve as an effective medium for contextual evangelization while strengthening the identity of the local Church. Therefore, this practice possesses significant pastoral relevance in fostering the faith life of the Christian community, preserving Manggarai cultural heritage, and promoting a harmonious dialogue between the Catholic faith and local culture.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of social communication based on the Inter Mirifica document in the lives of Catholic Youth (OMK) at the Sta. Maria of Mount Carmel Parish, Sta. Maria Assumpta Kupang. The rapid development of digital communication media has significantly influenced the faith, social relationships, and pastoral participation of Catholic youth, creating both opportunities and challenges for the Church. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving Catholic Youth members, the Head of OMK, the Head of KUB, and the Parish Priest. The data were analyzed through data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, play an important role in facilitating communication, disseminating information about church activities, strengthening faith formation, and fostering relationships among community members. However, excessive use of social media may expose young people to content inconsistent with Christian values, reduce direct interpersonal communication, and weaken spiritual life. Therefore, the Church should strengthen pastoral guidance, digital literacy, and responsible social communication to help Catholic youth use digital media wisely, critically, and in accordance with Christian values.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of social communication, as articulated in the Inter Mirifica document, in the lives of Catholic Youth (OMK) within the Basic Ecclesial Community (KUB) of St. Mary of Mount Carmel, St. Mary Assumpta Parish. The study is motivated by the rapid development of digital communication media, which has significantly influenced the faith, social interactions, and pastoral engagement of young Catholics. Social media serves not only as a platform for communication and entertainment but also presents opportunities and challenges for youth ministry. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving Catholic youth members, the OMK leader, the KUB coordinator, and the parish priest. Data were analyzed through data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that social communication plays a vital role in strengthening community relationships, disseminating Church-related information, fostering faith formation, and encouraging active participation in ecclesial activities through platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. However, excessive and inappropriate use of social media may also result in reduced face-to-face interaction, exposure to content inconsistent with Christian values, and declining spiritual awareness. The study concludes that the principles of Inter Mirifica remain highly relevant in guiding Catholic youth toward responsible, critical, and ethical use of digital media. Therefore, the Church should strengthen pastoral accompaniment, digital literacy education, and communication formation to support faith development and active participation in the Church's mission in the digital era.
