Church of Maria Bunda Karmel

Hmmm... how do I put it. This is the church I go to, the church I registered myself in the KK Katholik. The guys inside might hate me for giving anything lower than 5, so I will stick with 5 but with honest review.

1st, the church is overcrowded in Sunday. It is the DPH's duty to find a way to maintain this, either adding more holy mass session or separate the segments. But still the traffic is very bad.

As a father, I also feel the church is not children friendly. Why? The children room is too small and cramped without a nice view. And if we just go in the public space, people will see us with sinister looks even if our children is not too noisy. So, we cannot bring children to the church huh? How can they be a good catholic later? Thanks to those genius we are not feeling welcome to join the mass.

Anyways the church is grand, if possible let less people use private cars, the traffic is bad in weekdays and dont make it worse in weekend.
Thanks

Church of my childhood, also one of my most favourites. I can say that this church has become an integral 10+years of my life. Never got disappointed with the homilies, always relatable and never boring. The choir is also one of the best in town, I think :)
One thing that I like is that, they still keep distributing printed mass contents, in addition to projected screen. Honestly this really helps me a lot to stay focused to the holy mass.

The church is quite large and pretty cozy. A lot of food peddlers and canteen inside and outside of the premises.

It's a Catholic Church in western part of Jakarta. Outside and inside the Church have some places to pray with beautiful statues in front.
There's also a bookshop selling Catholic books and merchandises with a very kind and nice lady who serves the buyers.

The church is big enough. I don't know the maximum capacity but worry not, when there is big mass like easter or christmas they provide extra seating with roof tent. The church already equiped with air con. If you bring children and you're afraid to disturb your neighbor, you can seat in the kids section in the left side of the church. It is separated by glass (so you can still see the mass) and sound proof. Thouh with so many people,the problem is parking space (no matter how big a parking space, in jakarta it will always be not enough) and the possibility of traffic jam. They serve weekly masses in saturday (16.30 and 19.00) and sunday (6.30, 09.00, 11.30, 16.30, and 19.00); and daily morning masses at 6 am. Right now they're conducting a renovation in the altar section. I don't know when it will finish.

A safe place to worship during pandemic. Health protocols are well-observed, starting from check-in, entering, seating, and leaving processes are all well arranged. Plenty of people who are enforcing the protocols.

There are those who may feel the protocols are cumbersome; but honestly, better safe than sorry.
