PARISH HAYAM WURUK I know I have the privilege to serve the parish St.Anthonius in JI.Hayam Wuruk Medan, from 1972 to 1983. This was due to the maintenance of God so that I can be landed in Indonesia as a missionary and spent more than 30 years of life and do my mission to work in the Archdiocese of Medan. As a student of the Indian Jesuit, I volunteered to go and bermissi in Malaysia after the lessons of Philosophy in India and I happened to pass a pastoral year (TOP) in Kuala Lumpur yr 1966 -1967 , But as regards the system of immigration that is new, I could not stay in Malaysia within Iama, so Superior / My boss sent me to Indonesia to conduct lessons Theology in the hope that after ordination, I could go back to Malaysia to work on the mission of me. Unfortunately I can not go back there, and God chose Indonesia as the land of my mission. Absolutely true that "Our way is not the way of God." Now I will cobs to told briefly about the parish Hayam Wuruk I know and share the experience of my life for over 12 years as a difficult time there. I first landed in Indonesia pd May 1967 and soon learned Indonesian in Jakarta in preparation for Theology Seminary St. Paul Jogjakarta, and while I was studying theology in Jogja I soon read about the Archdiocese of Medan and the foundation of the Indian migrant people who live there. Therefore, with the permission of superiors, I visited Medan in December 1968 for a vacation and I were warmly received by Bishop Van Den Hurk OFM Cap, and I was allowed to stay in the Parish Hayam Wuruk for 3 weeks and was accompanied by two priests Capuchin ie Pastor Timmermans and Father Maximus Brans.Beberapa of the Indian Catholic community of Kp.Kristen came to me and introduced them menyalam And that's the first time I was able to communicate with the Parish JI.Hayam Wuruk. And as a base of native Indian community in the field or on the day of birth Parish Hayam Wuruk, very little documentation ada.Bagaimanapun, there were some oral tradition about the history of the Tamil people who live and work around the Deli Serdang diperkebunan and at the end of the 19th century formed the core of birth For Parish Hayam Wuruk. According to the elders of this Indian community, some of the family is taken directly from South India-Pandichery and Tamilnadu by oarng French but others seem to come from Penang Malaysia after working here for some time. Among the Indians, some Catholic families are employed by a French company in the plantation Tobacco Deli in area Sei Sikambing City dipinggiran confidence dad Medar As part of their faith, the company set up a Catholic chapel where the family can meet and be able to obtain a religious service which is served with regional language (Tamil) in each had Minggu.Kadang sometimes there are some visits priests to celebrate Holy Mass in Tamil language makes them very happy. During that time North Sumatra closed to the Catholic Church by the Dutch colonial rule and thus the Protestant churches developed in several areas in the 20th century Sumut.Pada Mgr Brans OFM Cap, the Apostolic Padang allowed to settle in Medan and so the Catholic mission clearly visible from North Sumatra. Pastor Ferdinandus Van Loon PFM Cap, who arrived in Medan dad Netherlands pd date August 20, 1912 are required to supervise the faith required by the Tamil community and eventually appointed as Pastor to help the Tamils diperkebunan.Agar apostolate effective, he began to learn the Tamil language and go to Penang to develop the language in the yr 1913. After several months in Penang, he returned to the field late in July 1913 and gave his heart and soul to maintain the dicintainya.Sesudah serve their flock scattered in a few months diperkebunan , pastor Van Loon trying to build and deliver learning (school) for children mereka.Terimakasih to Mgr Brans and Provincial of the Capuchins footpath land was purchased in Petisah between JI.Mojopahit and Sriwijaya. That ground was dikumpuikan family this family, a small chapel and living quarters for priests built in 1914. In the month of March 1915 a semi-permanent primary schools built and opened with 52 children tamil.Sebab she can not take care of itself increase the Indians jumiah Catholic nun she begged the nurse assistance to help take care of the request asramanya.Karenanya sekoiah and dad Mgr Brans, 6 sisters of the Congregation St.Yoseph dad dad Amersfoot arrived in Medan on date 28 January 1931 to help Fr Van Loon in his mission. They work for the people of India and supervise OMAG sekoiah and children's dormitory. The school also functioned as a church for the liturgical until a bare church (which is now the parish church dedicated to St.Antonius) had built and blessed in Sunday at tg1.14 November 1915 and a year after the parish house of the church was added complexed in a bin in October 1916. With the establishment of the church for the Indians in Hayam Wuruk, Medan has three church as a whole are: • JI.Pemuda Cathedral Church of Christ the King JI.Hakka now Jl.Nusantara. • Church St.Antonius JI.Hayam Wuruk. All of this was known at that time as a church for the Europeans, the Chinese church and church functions because the Indians in Dutch, Chinese and Indians are used in addition to Latin as the language of liturgy used during service misa.Tetapi of course in this case the period is lost because the people of other races into parish parish ini.Apa which began as a mission center for the Indian community at the beginnings of the 20th century, the parish has become sebua Hayam Wuruk large parish with a mixture of various tribes, and languages India, China Batak and Jawa.Di early 70s this church consists of several stations like Sei Sikambing, Sunggal, Padang kanBulan and Sei agul. After a brief story of the historical development of the Parish Hayam Wuruk, I want to continue the story of my life in the parish Hayam Wuruk. Soon after my priestly ordination on December 27, 1970, and after completing a lesson Theology in India, I tried to go to Malaysia for bermissi, but my visa to Malaysia prevented my dream to become a missionary in Malaysia became lenyap.ltulah in time the diocesan Court Medan, Mgr Van Den Hurk mengubungi my boss and ask for permission so that I can work at KAM, so in May 1972 I came to the field and begin my pastoral life as a colleague Father diparoki Hayam Wuruk in pastoral pst pst Brans.Saya Timmermans and mandate specifically by the Archbishop to serve the community OMAG India in my pastoral duties. After the pastor Van Loon died, mostly Indians who live in Medan and the Catholics in the Christian village feels like sheep without Penggembalaan.Oleh Therefore, my arrival as if revive the hope for a better future. At the beginning of my pastoral duties, everything went smoothly only with good cooperation from the community Kp.Kristen.Tetapi time I see that the Indian Catholic community is a little underdeveloped in terms of economic, educational, religious and Other social life comparison with other Indians in the field, I want to bring a significant change in Kp.Kristen.Sebagai a first step, the education project for children is planned for only a portion of those who had completed elementary school. Since education that will bring changes to the mental attitude, and create an expectation that was better for children and provide a sense hornat, I build 2 levels mulifungsi in JI.Mataram field with the name of the Institute of Social Work Education in December 1973. Dharma, with the blessing of Archbishop and the help and support of some masayrakat India in Medan. Building work Darma serve as a primary school as well as social and activity center for people activitas Kp.Kristen for several years. School work Darma has served hundreds of children India and after 25 years the school pelayannnya handed oversight of the Foundation Don Bosco and now functioned on behalf of the SD. St. Thomas VNI in JI.Mataram Medan. I am very happy and even proud that many alumni Karya Dharma has entered High School and even to university and now beaker] a in many areas in Indonesia, in my efforts to bring social change to improve the lives of drawing Kp.Kristen with all his troubles with a family of penyebeam there so that they can learn to live with other tribes nationwide diintegritas, I met with hostility that kaku.Bagaimanapun, the plan has been partially successful because all that has been left Kp.Kristen now keadaannnya already much better, they have experienced the grace and deployment in their lives.

Very irony! When they live near each other in Kp.Kristen, when it is less harmonious, lots of poverty, illiteracy, deterioration of moral and religious, but when they live far apart sating, they feel united, harmonious, both in the economy, both in terms of education and agama.Sekarang they menikamti mainstream in parish activities Hayam Wuruk. I thank God for the experience the bitter and sweet in this life. Seeing the progress of Komunit
