On Friday, January 26, 2024, the UNIKOM Catholic Student Family (CMS) collaborated with the Communication Science Department FISIP UNIKOM to host a Catholic Religion Mentoring activity with the theme “Spirituality of Young People in the Digital Age”.

The Secretary of Prodi Communications Sciences FISIP UNIKOM, Tine Agustin Wulandari, S.I.Kom., M.I.Kom, opened the agenda of activities on behalf of the Chief of Communication Science Department, Associate Professor Dr. Melly Maulin P., M.Si. She made certain to extend his gratitude to the entire executive committee, the attendees, all those who provided assistance, and the sources who dedicated their time, effort, and intellect to the execution of the endeavor.

Pastor Feby Ferdinan Laleno, OSC, of the Parish of St. Peter’s Cathedral in Bandung, attended the Catholic Mentoring event this time as a speaker. He explains in his explanation that God intended for the universe to be created in his glory. Various facilities in the digital age were created to meet human needs in providing abundant and rapid information, fostering creativity and innovation to help a wide variety of human activities, and creating broader relationships for social needs. For the soul, the body, and the spirit are to be preserved, so that they are not corrupted in the sight of God. Humans acquire intellectual intelligence (IQ) through education, information technology and communication, but they must also acquire emotional intelligence, as well as spiritual intelligence to deal with and solve all the questions, meanings and values of life, that is, to put one’s behavior and life in a broader and richer context of meaning.
