NUSA DUA – The National Association of Catholic Professionals and Entrepreneurs (PUKAT Nasional) will hold its 2025 National Working Meeting (Rakernas) on Friday–Saturday, September 26–27, 2025, at Hotel Mahogany, Nusa Dua, Bali. This was confirmed by Pukatnas Secretary General, Henricus Henry Hanindia, on Thursday (Sept 25, 2025).
“Delegates from various dioceses across Indonesia have already started arriving. The peak of participant arrivals is expected on Friday, September 26, between 12:00–14:00 WITA,” Henry said.
He added that all preparations have been finalized. “The committee is 100 percent ready. We are now focusing on the implementation, and we hope everything runs smoothly,” he stated.
This year’s Rakernas carries the theme “Serving with Faith, Hope, and a Heart Full of Love.” The theme reflects PUKAT’s commitment to strengthening its mission of service, rooted in the love of Christ.
According to Henry, the Rakernas aims to enhance PUKAT’s ministry through sustainable synergy, while emphasizing the importance of social awareness. “Our service must align with Christ’s teachings, prioritizing love and compassion, especially for the marginalized,” he emphasized.
In addition to fulfilling organizational mandates as outlined in PUKAT’s Articles of Association and Bylaws (AD/ART), the Rakernas will also serve as a platform to evaluate the progress of PUKAT’s national programs, review strategic goals, and adjust work plans in line with current social dynamics.
The event will also strengthen fellowship between the National Board and diocesan chapters of PUKAT, while setting the organization’s work programs for the 2025–2026 period. The Rakernas will be attended by full delegates, including the National Board, Advisors, Supervisory Board, Diocesan Moderators, and Diocesan Chairs.
“Through this Rakernas, we hope PUKAT’s service becomes more effective, relevant, and responsive to the needs of both the Church and society — guided by the spirit of faith, hope, and love,” Henry concluded.***
