Grand Design Sendangsono.

MISSION: 

In order to realize this vision, there are some important points to note:

1. Creating Silence 

One of the advantages and characteristics of the pilgrimage Sendangsono is silence. Of itself, the silence there. Due to the presence of many people, silence can be transformed into the crowd. To that end, the silence needs to be created to support the pilgrims who wish to pray in silence. Steps that must be made is to create an atmosphere of prayer as a place of pilgrimage Sendangsono. Some concrete steps that can be made:
a. Renew placards announcements to keep silence. Placards that there are already too small and did not invite the eye to see.
b. Adding a bookmark boards to provide easy access for pilgrims.
c. On the night that a lot of visitors, the duty officer MUST dare give reprimands and warnings to pilgrims who crowded.
In addition, there are several things that need to be built to create the impression and feel that the pilgrims are in a complex journey. Besides giving the impression, adding some infrastructure is providing facilities to the pilgrims. Some of these are:
a. Continue the construction of the entrance gate on the east, near the bathroom and WC. The existence of a barrier gate turns out to invite the admiration of the pilgrims and able to create an atmosphere of beauty and have a feel of the shade. Construction of the East side of the gate this has consequences: it is often used by traders to sell. In order not sustainable, a system must be created so that these traders out of the complex.
b. Hold a special place for the duty officer. Presumably the most strategic place for security post near the East Gate, which is not yet built. This place is suitable for many pilgrim traffic from a side road in front of him. The existence of this gatehouse will certainly give a sense of comfort to pilgrims; easier for administrators to calculate the number of visitors, as well as the vendors who usually hung in there will be driven by itself.
c. If the checkpoint has been built, it is necessary to have a special employee. Presumably two to three years into the future, where employees are increasingly required security. Moreover, if calculated with the costs incurred for security officers from the fall Kamtibmas cheaper.
d. Access driveway gate after Blabak still ugly. The access road needs to be renovated so the more help the pilgrims on their way to Sendangsono; give a feel to the pilgrims that they started to get into the complex Sendangsono, and provide comfort as more organized access to Sendangsono. One form that can be made is making its way to the stone ornament box that matched with the already existing gate. Venture arrangement this way must also be coupled with public awareness around it to organize complex environment.
e. Forward arrangement river crossing Sendangsono pilgrimage complex. Effort to build small dams should be forwarded. Small dams has yet multifunctional: can be used for fish ponds and create a rustic atmosphere. Given these small dams, the pilgrims can linger to enjoy Sendangsono. From the rush of flowing water will also help create an environment of silence. This effort also needs to be coupled with public awareness about the environment to maintain, especially not dispose of garbage and household waste into the river. Society needs to make the absorption well aware that water flowing into the river is already clear.
f. Either when made, the access road crosses of the Church Promasan also needs to be organized well. Structuring the access path can involve parishioners so that there is a reciprocal relationship between Sendangsono and parish Promasan. Are worthy of note: the arrangement of the access road is not paved, but the access road is to be made together with the arrangement of pilgrimage Sendangsono.

2. The role of the Virgin Mary 

Pilgrims believe that Mary is the mediator of grace and prayer to God. Of the prayers that had recorded over the years, most of the pilgrims invoke success in business, domestic tranquility, mate, and protection in life. Of course there are other prayers spoken, but it all boils down to the belief that Mary be a helper and mediator to unity with the Father in heaven. Associated with such belief is Sendangsono water. Almost certainly most of the pilgrims carry water that has been filed Sendangsono thanks to Mary. To support this belief, the board can do several things:
a. It seems, so far the board has not been providing services to pray for special intentions are conveyed either directly or inserted into the box fund. When Sendangsono provide opportunities eucharist 1 (one) once a month to pray for the intention, presumably pilgrims will feel more stable and attention. It is strongly associated with sacramental ministry.
b. Creating an atmosphere that is sacred in the water uptake. This sacred atmosphere can be built by making access to water points are more comfortable, safe and clean. So arrangement places around water points are very urgent.
c. Far deeper is how to maintain and care for the water to keep them clean and eternal source. It seems, the source of water used for baptism I get smaller. At the time of the pilgrims, the original water is not sufficient. Typically, the pond water is added from a source behind the cave.

3. The Faith Rooted 

The nature of existence is increasingly rooted faith Sendangsono people. It can be traced from the early history as the place of baptism Sendangsono I. From Sendangsono, Catholic faith spread throughout the country. In order to further rooted faith, a step that can be made is to look at and reflect on the means that can help people to live their faith more.
a. Spiritual Care.

Presumably ministry in Sendangsono an urgent care to be made. Not infrequently, the pilgrims came to Sendangsono with a myriad of issues and questions. How does this help them? It is possible to provide services:
- Sacramental: Eucharist and Confession.
- Counseling.
This service can not be made by a layman. This service belongs to the priest. For that, it takes a priest who had the attention and hearts in Sendangsono.
b. Information Services.
Information is an important factor. Sendangsono need to think about what kind of information services to be provided to the pilgrims. The information provided must be complete and comprehensive so that knowledge can help pilgrims are given to understand Sendangsono. Ends, they will be made aware of the riches of faith hidden in Sendangsono. The more the pilgrims understand the richness of faith in Sendangsono, the more they are rooted in faith. Some things can be made:
- Create a special book about Sendangsono
- Creating brochures
- Create documentation about the philosophical concept of Sendangsono (VCD / DVD)
- Create a mini museum of the architectural richness or distinctiveness Sendangsono
c. Local Culture
Faith grew up in the local culture. Sendangsono have to think and think to make way for the flowering of the local culture. Local culture, if illuminated in faith will be a facility in the proclamation efekatif
d. Environment
One of the reasons why Romo Mangunwijaya PR architecture awarded the AIA is due to his concern for the environment. Environment so arranged so as to give the impression of not destroy nature. Natural potential in Sendangsono put to good use: the contours of the land, the trees, the river and the surrounding nature. Romo never Mangunwijaya PR Sendangsono conceptualize separate from the surrounding environment. Then the barrier complex was not built with a high fence, but united with the plant. To that end, it is necessary efforts held to preserve the environment. Some things to do:
- Together with the surrounding community and love will turn greening plants
- Small dams can be used for fishing. Aside from being a decoration, fishing becomes a mirror to preserve a living creature.
- Waste management professional: separation and waste treatment for the sake of the common welfare.
- Provide bins that reprentatif and can encourage pilgrims to sort organic and inorganic waste.

HISTORY Sendangsono
Originally, the term Sendangsono not to mention a place name. Sendangsono is a term for a source of water under the tree Sono. The term is a combination of two words Sendangsono, Spring and Sono.
Spring is a Javanese term to refer to the source of water. Sono is the name of a tree (read: Angsana). Therefore, Sendangsono is a term for the springs that were under the tree Sono. In the past, before the name Sendangsono known, people often refer to the water source to source Semagung. During its development, people familiar with the name Sendangsono.
Geographically, Sendangsono is in the mountains and addressed in Hamlet Menoreh Semagung, Banjaroya Village, District Kalibawang, Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta Special Province. Sendangsono borders with Central Java, approximately 30 km from the city of Magelang and 15 miles south Muntilan.
Sendangsono as a place of pilgrimage is the momentum of the birth of the Church (read: Catholics) around Kalibawang. The process of formation of a place of pilgrimage is closely related to the development of Catholics around Kalibawang. The rapid development of Catholics push Sendangsono birth and development.
Before becoming a place of pilgrimage, characterized by the Catholic, the source of water under a tree known as the Sono shrine. That said, in a place that is used for meditation. Surrounding community believes there are spirits who dwell in that place. According to legend, when the spirits disturbed, they will harm. It is said also, at the Sono tree dwells a goddess named Lantamsari mother and her only child Baguse Samijo Den. Two things became ruler of that area.
According to ancient fairy tales too, Semagung water source is also used as the resting place of bikshu who travel from Borobudur to Boro or vice versa. Boro first monastery known as the bikshu though now have disappeared. Indeed, when viewed from a distance, Semagung source is in the middle between Borobudur and Boro.
On December 14, 1904, the source Semagung chosen as a place to baptize. When people around Semagung enter the Catholic religion, the source of water used to baptize Semagung (read: entry initiation catholic) them. Sacred place that altered function. Semagung water sources are no longer treated as a dwelling spirits but is used as to meet the Lord.
The baptism event marked the beginning of the birth of Catholics, characterized by Java. And Sendangsono a monument in the history of Catholics around Kalibawang. So Sendangsono born because Catholics born and grown there.

GOA MARIA LOURDES Sendangsono. 

Dated December 14, 1904, the source Sendangsono blessed by Rama van Lith SJ. Source that is used to baptize 173 people around Sendangsono. According to Catholic belief blessed water into holy water.
In 1923, while working at Boro and surrounding areas, Rama JB. Prennthaler SJ had the idea to make Sendangsono as a sacred place because the water is blessed. He proposes to set up the cave dwelling of Mary Immaculate. When Mary enthroned in Sendangsono, people can pray to him to ask for protection. The idea was welcomed by the surrounding population.
After reaching an agreement, the idea was realized. Community worked together to search for rock, sand and limestone. The cave was built together in mutual cooperation. Statue of Our Lady weighing 300 kg was imported from Switzerland and lowered in Sentolo Wates Kulon Progo. From Sentolo to Sendangsono (approximately 30 miles) shouldered together.
Goa Maria Sendangsono blessed on December 8, 1929. Blessing it coincides with the celebration of 75 years of dedication dogma that Mary was conceived without the stain. At the time of Rama JB blessing. Prennthaler SJ said that the establishment of the cave Maria Sendangsono an act of gratitude for the protection of the Blessed Mother on mission work in Kalibawang. Thus, Goa Maria Sendangsono a memorial 25 years of Catholic mission work in Kalibawang. In Commemoration of 25 years of Catholic mission work in this Kalibawang, Pope Pius XI gave the award to Mr. Barnabas Sarikrama for his services in developing the Catholic mission in Kalibawang.
Goa Maria was established mainly to say thank you for the work of God for the people Kalibawang. So in his homily Rama JB. Prennthaler remind people not to seek miracle in Sendangsono. Which should always be echoed when Sendangsono is a pilgrimage to give thanks to the Almighty God through Our Lady for having mercy and grace to man. In it there is also a prayer of blessing prayed submission by Rama FX. Satiman SJ: "Mother Mary is pure in Kalibawang bless and protect us who flee before thee."
To support the religious atmosphere around Kalibawang, Rama JB. Prennthaler SJ gave the bells as many as 19 pieces were purchased directly from the Netherlands. The bells were rung three times at 6 am, 12 noon and 6 pm. The bell was used to mark and invites Catholics to pray. Currently some of the bells is lost.
In 1958 built a station (read: small houses) were 14. Stasi was given a statue of the Cross. Stasi was built from the Church Promasan to Sendangsono (distance of approximately 1 km). Construction of stations that are used as a means to help pilgrims reflect on their lives while preparing to meet the Lord through the intercession of the Virgin Mary.

ARCHITECTURE Sendangsono. 

Sendangsono construction is done in stages. Originally the construction was done to meet the requirements to qualify as a place of prayer. Then the resulting buildings are also gradually. Construction of the first phase is the cave, followed by the construction of stations and the construction of a chapel on the side of the cave. Since 1958-1969, there is no data development and the situation is still barren.
Since 1969, Rama YB. Mangunwijaya Pr. Sendangsono involved in the design development. Through the hands of Rama YB. Mangunwijaya Sendangsono be a beautiful place, beautiful, cool and quiet to pray.
In early development, Rama does not make Mangunwijaya Pr framework and direction of development (no grand design). Only when Rama Mangunwijaya Pr died (1996), interpreted the buildings and found certain philosophies.
By understanding the image of Rama Mangunwijaya mansion Pr, Sendangsono architecture can be understood more complete. Broadly speaking, the style of construction of a model home Sendangsono using Java. In Javanese tradition consists of the court house building, home front, middle and rear. Each section has a value and function on their own.
Architectural style is similar to Java, Sendangsono architecture is divided into three parts, namely the driveway, courtyard, and sacral regions.
Part entrance lanes marked with a cross. Cross the road there are two types: long and short. Long cross road consists of 14 stations along existing lines until Sendangsono Promasan Church. While the short cross street is in the northern part of the complex Sendangsono. Both long and short cross streets are provided to help pilgrims reflect on yourself and prepare hearts to pray. Philosophically, road trips and cross depicts the struggle of human life in seeking and achieving happiness. In short cross street, Stations were decorated with ornaments of roses. The ornament depicts that human struggle will not be in vain but scores very valuable.
Part of the court is a place for rest and encounters between people. Part of the courtyard is characterized by buildings on stilts. The buildings are also not given a specific color. Dominant color of brown, black and plain (not colored). The houses are used for resting stage, refreshing, discussions and others. Models prepared by the court trap and not trap striped trapezoid. Philosophy, the court is a place of dialogue. True dialogue is dialogue that is not based on the social strata. Everyone has an equal footing. Thus, the trap trapezoid support for equal dialogue.
Sacred part of the principal part of architecture Sendangsono. This section consists of two parts, namely the court and central. In the sacred, the court is colored red and white colors. The red color depicts the courage and sign the Divine Spirit. While the white color reflects purity. Ideally, every person who entered the courtyard of the red and white adjust and build the attitude of silence, calm and direct the heart to God. In the central part of the building there is the Cave of Mary and Holy Trinity Chapel (Chapel of the Trinity). The central part is a meeting between man and God through the intercession of Mary. Catholics believe Mary as the Mother of Jesus as well as to be an intermediary thanksgiving and supplication to God. Mary is honored as the mother that can help people who want to be close to God.
Although built in the context of Javanese culture, the buildings Sendangsono actualize belief Christian faith. The buildings include:
* Chapel of the Holy Trinity. Model building is the chapel of the Holy Trinity joglo. The roof is organized into three layers. Three layers of roofing that describe the Holy Trinity (Trinity).
* Chapel of the Apostles. The building is located in north goa. Feature building: pole consists of three pillars, the roof is supported by a trellis frame like an umbrella, there are 12 corner edge of the roof and is built in the courtyard of which is made with roman kolosium models. Pole three principal pillars of the Christian faith will reflect the Trinitarian God. Buffer framework reflects the close relationship between the Trinitarian God of the Apostles. The lives of the Apostles is very dependent on the buffer that is God. The roof consists of 12 angle to describe the apostle of Jesus who totaled 12 people.
* Chapel of Mary Mother of All Nations. Characteristics of the building such as hallways and walls are marked with a circle. The building depicts a mother's mercy and sincerity. The hope Mary became patron and intercessor for all nations to meet the Lord.
* Cross Millennium. Cross of the Millennium installed in 2000 as a sign of the start of the third millennium.
