The role of Catholic shrines and pilgrimage sites in the evangelization of the Church in the divided, complex and plural world in Indonesia and Southeast Asia

This collaborative research looks into the role of Catholic shrines and pilgrimage sites in the evangelization of the Church in the divided, complex and plural world, especially in Indonesian and Southeast Asia. By taking a number of shrines and their organizations as case studies, this research is guided by these questions: why do Catholic shrines in Indonesia and Southeast Asia continue to draw pilgrims, including those of other faiths?

This research is part of a larger study-project done by the International Center for Mission and Formation (CIAM – Centro Internazionale di Animazione Missionaria), an agency within the Vatican’s Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples in Rome. This study-project is on the theme of Popular Piety and Evangelization: Asian and African Perspectives that brings together a small group of scholars with expertise or interest on topics and themes related to popular piety and evangelization to explore together what it means for the Church to be engaged in evangelization in Asia and Africa.
