Abstract

The utilization of retreats for emotional healing is a form of
catechesis that can aid in the spiritual development of Christians.
Traditional catechesis methods, such as lectures and deepening
of faith, have not yielded the desired outcomes in the Semarang
Archdiocese region. These methods primarily focus on cognitive
and kerygmatic aspects, neglecting to effectively address
emotional and behavioral achievements in Diakonia, koinonia,
and inter-faith dialogue. This research aims to develop a model of
catechesis utilizing the retreat method for emotional healing and
to identify the factors contributing to its success or failure. The
Research and Development method is utilized in this study, with
the analysis of 100 subjects. The findings suggest that in order to
optimize the implementation of Christian values, there must be
improvements in both the internal quality (such as closeness to
God, willingness to participate in retreats for emotional healing,
deepening of theological knowledge, emotional intelligence,
effective communication skills, and self-control) and external
quality (the closeness of the retreat participant's relationship with
God and the readiness of the student to learn) of catechists.
