Dampak Misa Jumat Pertama Bulan terhadap Spiritualitas Calon Guru Pendidikan Agama Katolik
This study aims to explore students' understanding of the First Friday Mass at Sekolah Tinggi Agama Katolik (STAKat) Negeri Pontianak, its impact on their spirituality as future Catholic Religious Education teachers, and the obstacles they face in participating in the mass. The research was conducted from July 30 to September 9, 2024, at STAKat Negeri Pontianak. Informants in this study consisted of three main groups: students from the 2022, a lecturer, and the Vice Chairman III. The findings showed that students at STAKat Negeri Pontianak had a solid understanding of the First Friday Mass as a form of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and an essential part of the Catholic faith. This mass has a positive impact on students' spirituality, especially in shaping attitudes of faithfulness to God's word, compassion for others, forgiveness, humility, and a willingness to sacrifice qualities vital for future Catholic Religious Education teachers. However, participation in the mass was hindered by several challenges, such as health issues, conflicting academic or work schedules, and a lack of motivation that causes some students to perceive the mass as less important. Nevertheless, the First Friday Mass continued to play a significant role in supporting students’ spiritual development.

Implementasi Teori Belajar Sibernetik Menurut Landa dalam Pendidikan Agama Katolik
This study examines the implementation of cybernetic learning theory as proposed by Landa in the context of Catholic Religious Education. Cybernetic learning theory focuses on how individuals process and manage information during the learning process, dividing thinking into two types: structured and systematic thinking, and heuristic, creative thinking. This approach aims to encourage deep and flexible learning, especially in religious education. The research used a qualitative method with a literature review approach, where the author collected and analyzed various theoretical sources, books, and relevant journals to understand the application of cybernetic theory in religious education. The study found that integrating these two types of thinking into the learning process could help students systematically understand theological concepts while encouraging them to creatively apply religious values in their everyday lives. Additionally, this theory could optimize the use of technology and feedback mechanisms to improve learning outcomes. Despite facing some challenges in its implementation, the findings of this study showed that cybernetic theory could provide valuable insights in designing dynamic, reflective, and meaningful learning experiences in Catholic Religious Education.

Peran Keibuan Maria dalam Pastoral Kaum Awam dan Implikasinya bagi Guru Agama Katolik
The focus of this article is the maternal role of Mary in the pastoral care of the laity and its implications for Catholic religious teachers. The laity are called to serve and proclaim the kingdom of God. One of the duties of lay people is to become Catholic religious teachers. The presence of Catholic religious teachers both in schools and in the community is very important. Today the crucial challenge is the lack of faithfulness in giving life testimony. Teaching activities at school are just a formality so they do not have a positive influence on students. Catholic religious teachers are less aware of their calling as teachers. In response to this problem, it is very important to learn from Mary's loyalty as a mother and teacher who faithfully accompanied her son until the end. Loyalty, patience, testimony of life should continue to be lived by Catholic religious teachers in teaching activities in the classroom and in the community. The method used in this writing is literature (literature review) analyzing previous research that is relevant to the theme discussed. This article aims to increase awareness of the importance of Mary's faithfulness in the pastoral work of lay people, especially Catholic teachers. Catholic Religious Teachers should have a spirit in their service duties
