Description

The existence of the church and the growth of the faith of the people are partly shape the Monfortian life. The Montfortian plays an important role in proclaiming the Catholic faith in the Diocese of Sintang, West Kalimantan through their life testimonies, education, and teaching. Therefore, this research aims to understand the perception of Catholic believers regarding the prophetic role of the Montfortian. The research was conducted in 2 Parishes served by the Montfortian, namely the Hati St. Virgin Mary Parish in Putussibau and the Lord's Apparition Parish in Sayut. Both parishes are in West Kalimantan. The respondents numbered 129 people, including youth (Orang Muda Katolik), and parents. Data collection was done using Google Forms, requesting perceptions from Catholic believers in three parishes served by the Montfortian regarding their prophetic role. The methodology used by the author is data analysis using the perspective of the prophetic role in the Catholic view. From the results of this research, the presence of the Montfortian as bearers of the Word of God (prophets) for the people is evident. Then, there needs to be an evaluation and internal sharing for the Montfortian to renew themselves and their calling to repentance continuously. Also, there is a need for dialogue or heartfelt sharing between the people and Montfortian.
