Abstract

The main issue discussed in this research is the impact of the catechist course on the catechists' ministry in carrying out the mission of proclaiming the faith at Saint Joseph Parish, Bandung. The background of this research is based on the important role of catechists in the life of the Catholic Church as competent proclaimers of the faith, and the need for ongoing formation to support the quality of their service. This study uses a qualitative approach, with data collected through document studies, structured interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The purpose of this research is to identify the extent to which the catechist course supports the ministry of catechists and to gain an understanding of the supporting and hindering factors in the implementation of the course at Saint Joseph Parish. The findings show that the catechist course has a positive and significant impact on enhancing spiritual maturity and understanding of the faith, especially regarding the sacraments of initiation. In addition, the course strengthens the catechists' sense of pastoral responsibility and develops catechetical skills that are relevant to the current context of the faithful. Supporting factors for the course’s effectiveness include contextualized materials, participatory learning methods, and strong community support. However, challenges remain, such as time constraints and low participation among some course participants. This research offers a meaningful contribution to the development of more effective catechist formation programs focused on sustainable empowerment and may serve as a reference for other parishes in building more contextual and impactful catechetical ministries.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the leadership formation process of Catholic Youth (OMK) as Word Worship officers and to identify the factors influencing their low level of participation in ministry at St. Francis of Assisi Tawang Station. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with OMK members and their instructors as the primary subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed through data reduction, interpretation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the participation of Catholic Youth in church activities is generally positive, as most members are willing to serve when assigned as Word Worship officers. Their involvement includes roles such as leading the Word Worship, participating in liturgical celebrations, and contributing creatively to church life. However, their creativity and initiative remain limited, as many still rely on being appointed rather than volunteering for service. The main obstacles in the leadership formation process are the lack of professional mentors, such as catechists to accompany the youth, and internal challenges among OMK members, including low self-confidence and limited organizational skills. The study suggests that further research and pastoral attention are needed to strengthen the leadership formation and active participation of Catholic Youth in church ministries.

Abstract

The main focus of this paper is to examine the issue of religious freedom in Indonesia, which has recently shown a decline in tolerance between majority and minority religions. Religion essentially teaches faith and morality to its adherents, not a doctrine that creates hostility as is currently the case in Indonesia. The failure of the government and society to fight for religious freedom has resulted in disharmony in communal life, reflected in various incidents of discrimination, prohibitions on worship, and acts of intolerance that harm certain groups. This situation indicates a serious challenge in safeguarding human rights, particularly the right to embrace religion and practice worship according to one's beliefs. In response to this issue, the author seeks to examine three main questions: what is religious freedom? What is freedom according to Zhuangzi? And how is Zhuangzi's thinking on religious freedom implemented in Indonesia? Zhuangzi's thinking, which emphasizes inner freedom, acceptance of diversity, and rejection of coercion, serves as an important foundation for assessing the current situation of religious freedom in Indonesia. This research uses a literature study approach, utilizing sources in the form of relevant books, documents, and journals. It is hoped that this study can provide theoretical and practical contributions in building a peaceful, inclusive religious life, and upholding justice and freedom for every citizen.
