Abstract

Bandung is the capital city of West Java Province and also the center of The Diocese of Bandung. Bandung Diocese has a clear vision based on John 15:17. The Pastoral Care vision is implemented in the spirit of “Passion for Christ, Passion for others, and Passion for the community”. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Bandung authorities implemented various scales of Community Activity Restriction to reduce the spread of Covid-19. The Church responded by limiting faith-related activities and supporting the virtual Eucharist. Saint Theodore Parish - Bandung realizes that the local Church could take on more roles than limit the gathering in the Church. The Parish committed to fighting against Covid�19 following local needs. This paper presents how the Parish built a response team in partnership with Catholic physicians who lives in the territory. The Parish took a role in educating people about Covid-19, tracing and testing, vaccination programs, and providing social service to the neighbourhood. In the peak of Covid-19 outbreak, the team provides online consultation for church members who live in isolation due to Covid-19. By doing this, the Parish accomplished WHO recommendation for religious leaders in the context of Covid-19, and translated Bandung Diocese's Pastoral Care into contextual services.
