JAKARTA - The Jakarta Cathedral Church confirms its commitment to environmental awareness and the value of togetherness through the use of recycled Christmas decorations at the 2025 Christmas celebration.
Jakarta Cathedral Church Public Relations Susyana Suwadie said that this year's Christmas decorations were made simple by using recycled materials and ornaments that had been used before.
"The Christmas tree looks like it uses recycled materials, such as old rice sacks that are colored and coconut shells that are used as accessories," Susyana said when met on the sidelines of the Christmas Pontifical Mass, quoting Antara.
He explained that the use of recycled materials has become a commitment of the Jakarta Cathedral Church in recent years as a form of concern for the environment.
In addition, the Cathedral Church has also consistently raised the Nusantara cloth and local cultural elements as a form of love for the homeland in every major church celebration.
Susyana conveyed the message that this year's Christmas still refers to the Christmas message with PGI and KWI with the theme of Allah Coming to Save the Family.
The theme, he said, emphasizes the importance of the role of the family as the center of life in the midst of various social problems faced by society.
In the homily of the Pontifical Mass, Cardinal Ignatius Suharyo is scheduled to deliver a message of solidarity for people affected by the disaster.
The Archdiocese of Jakarta previously raised funds through a second collection on December 13 and 14 to help residents affected by disasters in various areas, including Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra.
