1. Introduction
One of the existences of the Catholic Church in the context of communion is the servant. So, if
the Catholic Church neglects its duties in ministry, then there is no communion in the life of the
church. In practice, the ministry in the church is still traditional, so a modernisation of the ministry is
needed (Adyatomo, 2023; Pasaribu, 2023; Tawaang et al., 2023).
In the context of ministry, the Catholic church is also required to be transformative in the
development of the times (Inriani, 2021; Selatang et al., 2023). Digital platforms are also a means of
preaching and serving the people, which aims to provide convenience in service practices. Therefore,

the understanding of digital services must begin to be realized by the parish leaders, in this case, we
know as pastors (Afandi, 2018; da Santo, 2019; Irpan et al., 2022; Sitorus & Purba, 2021).
Located in the territory of the diocese of Sintang, the parish church of the Immaculate Heart of
the Virgin Mary was founded on June 10, 1939 by the missionaries of the Marian Monfort Union.
Before being designated as a parish, the HSPMTB church was included in the parish ministry area of
Bika Nazareth and was served by priests from the Capuchin order. Initiated by monfortan
missionaries from the Netherlands, the HSPMTB church has changed pastors 3 times: the first area is
on Sibau Beach, the second is in the main road area of Putussibau City, and the third (now) rebuilt to
coincide with the pastoral dung and the parish secretariat (Dien, 2022). The parish church of HSPMTB
has 12 regional wards and 8 stations that are the focus of ministry and have several categorical groups
and communities, and in the parish of HSPMTB Putussibau has management called the Parish Pastoral
Council.
Currently, all administrative and information affairs are managed and carried out within the
parish secretariat, so if there are people related to administrative and information searching affairs,
they will usually come to the parish secretariat (Ibu, 2022). The development of information
technology is currently a new challenge to make a service innovation in the HSPMTB Putussibau
parish. One of them is a web service that can provide convenience in obtaining access to information
on the HSPMTB Putussibau church. Internet access that can be reached anywhere positively impacts
the church, which is transformative. In this study, the design and implementation of digital services
in the HSPMTB parish can positively impact the development of the HSPMTB Putussibau parish (Riko
et al., 2023).
Relevant research: Dien, M. E. (2022) conducted research similar to the study on church
website design, providing a concrete example of implementing the church information system.
Rachmatullah et al. (2021) conducted research showing how church information systems can be
implemented in Android-based platforms, providing an alternative perspective on digital solutions
for churches.
This research aims to design, build, and implement web-based church services for the Parish of
the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Putussibau. By utilising digital technology, this
research aims to provide easy access to information for parishioners, improve administrative
efficiency, and support the modernisation of church services.
