Saint Ignatius L church located in Atang Sendjaja Airforce Base, in an area known as Semplak, which is an area close to Parung. This year, the christmas masses for the catholic people in a large part of Bogor District area was concentrated in this church.
Actually there should be another Catholic churches in this district. But their activity had stopped for this christmas time, since there are rejection from -what so called- the surrounding citizen. Some churches also 'under supervision' of the Religious Community Communication Forum (or FKUB - Forum Komunikasi Umat Beragama) who tells these churches to stop their activities. This problem had arose from the last Easter time, when some people came to one of the church and forced the church to stop the Good Friday mass.
So, this St Ignatius church is the one that was still having massed this christmas. That's why there were so many people in every mass. All the 'indoor' seats had already taken even about 45 minutes before the mass begun.
But all the masses had running well this year, thanks to the security provided by the airforce personnels.
