The Catholic Student Community (KMK) St. Ignatius Loyola is the spiritual organization for Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember students of the Catholic faith. KMK ITS St. Ignatius Loyola bears the name of a venerated catholic saint, St. Ignatius Loyola, who is known for his quotes, “Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam,” meaning for the greater glory of God. The Catholic Student Community ITS St. Ignatius Loyola is the spiritual organizational form of Tim Pembina Kerohanian Katolik (TPK) Katolik ITS or ITS Catholic Spiritual Development Team. The Catholic Student Community (KMK) St. Ignatius Loyola was founded by a group of ITS students of the Catholic faith who need a place to continue to explore and deepen their spiritual side and channel their spiritual side into the form of service in KMK. For more than 20 years since 1995, the year KMK ITS was founded, KMK ITS has served as the second home for students of the catholic faith in Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, thus why KMK ITS is known as the spiritual organization that is based on kinship.
The Catholic Student Family (KMK) facilitates ITS Students of Catholic Faith with programs that can be followed, including Welcome party for new students, New Student Mentoring which is held every odd semester, Routine Service, First Friday Mass, Easter KMK ITS which is held every April, Alumni Gathering, KMK Gathering, Catholic Community Cup KMK ITS, and Spiritual Camp which was held in the first semester. Some of the activities you can’t miss are the group mentoring with many new friends from other ITS Departments, the activities were about sharing stories on life on campus or personal experiences so you can have a lot of new friends and hear their stories and experiences. Then on Friday, there will be so many fun activities such as playing games or eating lots of food, except for the first Friday of the month, KMK ITS will have a mass together. KMK ITS also hold prayer of the Rosary together, usually in May and October. And the most fun activity, of course, is The spiritual camp, where you will be made to know every family member in KMK and not only you can refresh your mind you will be also taught a lot. After attending spiritual camp you can officially be a member of the KMK ITS family.
Although, some activities were delayed in the early time of PSBB like the easter activities.
