This study aims to analyze the level of accessibility and the adequacy of facilities for Catholic pastoral services at parish and outstation centers in Maumere City. Accessibility is assessed based on distance, travel time, and road conditions, while facility adequacy includes the availability of church buildings, toilets, parking areas, lighting, and worship space capacity. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, interviews, documentation, and analysis of physical facility conditions. The results indicate that parishes located in urban areas have high accessibility and more adequate facilities, enabling optimal pastoral services. In contrast, outstations in peripheral areas still face limitations in infrastructure and basic facilities. These findings reflect disparities in the spatial distribution of church services, highlighting the need for infrastructure improvement and collaborative efforts among parishes, government, and communities to achieve more equitable and sustainable pastoral services.
