Abstract. This study aims to examine the supporting and opposing views of the community regarding the Helketa Tradition as a form of cultural reconciliation and to understand its meaning in the lives of the faithful at St. Cecilia Tuamau Station, St. John Mary Vianney Maubesi Parish. The study employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and were analyzed descriptively to provide a comprehensive understanding of community perspectives on the implementation of the Helketa Tradition. The findings reveal that many community members support the Helketa Tradition because it strengthens family relationships, resolves conflicts, and preserves the cultural values inherited from their ancestors. However, others question or reject the tradition because certain elements are considered less compatible with contemporary developments and the teachings of the Catholic Church. These differing perspectives are influenced by factors such as religious understanding, the influence of local culture, educational background, the views of traditional leaders, and the Church's attitude toward local cultural traditions. The study concludes that the Helketa Tradition continues to hold significant reconciliatory value for the community when it is properly understood and integrated with Christian values through dialogue between the Church and the indigenous community, pastoral accompaniment, and a deeper understanding of cultural values that are consistent with Catholic teachings.
