Propan Raya Also Contributes To The History Of The Revitalization Of The Cathedral Church And Istiqlal Mosque

PT Propan Raya is part of the history in revitalizing two historic buildings: Jakarta Cathedral and Istiqlal Mosque. Recently, on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, Indonesia welcomed a significant visit from Pope Francis, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. This visit marked an important moment in the Christian calendar and symbolized unity and peace for all Catholics and the Indonesian community.

During his visit, Pope Francis will participate in key events, including a major Mass at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium on Thursday, September 5, 2024, and a meeting with clergy at Jakarta Cathedral.

In addition to visiting the Cathedral, Pope Francis will also meet with interfaith leaders at Istiqlal Mosque. This visit represents a symbol of religious tolerance in Indonesia. In preparation for this important event, Propan has played a role in the history of Pope Francis's visit to Indonesia.

Jakarta Cathedral and Istiqlal Mosque are significant symbols of religion and history, and Propan Raya, as an Indonesian paint company, takes pride in revitalizing these historic sites. The Cathedral has been repainted using Decor Silicate Paint DSE-520.

The interior walls of Jakarta Cathedral had high humidity levels, requiring special treatment for painting. Therefore, using Decor Silicate Paint DSE-520 was the right choice for repainting the church walls.

Decor Silicate Paint DSE-520 is specially formulated with Propan Raya technology, making it the best solution to protect cultural heritage buildings and new structures in high humidity conditions like Jakarta Cathedral.

This paint can protect surfaces by penetrating and reacting chemically with walls, making it last longer while allowing them to breathe (it has excellent ability to evaporate or resist water).

Additionally, the historic Istiqlal Mosque, located near the Cathedral Church, has also been revitalized. The dome area of the mosque, made of ceramic, was repainted to restore its beautiful colors using Cerakote CTC-998. This paint's advantage is that it can make old ceramics look new again without needing to be removed, thanks to its high-quality resin formula.

During this event, Propan Raya, represented by Yuwono Imanto, the Director of Propan Raya, presented a commemorative plaque to Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of Istiqlal, Prof. Dr. KH Nasaruddin Umar, MA. This plaque symbolizes the diversity of ethnicities and religions in Indonesia, created by Propan Raya.

"Propan Raya was able to directly present a gift to Pope Francis during his visit to Indonesia. This plaque represents unity in Indonesia, aligning with the Pope's mission during his visit," Yuwono added.

Pope Francis's visit to Indonesia is a historic moment that signifies spiritual closeness and commitment to universal values. This visit strengthens the spirit of unity and deepens the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Indonesian community. Propan Raya, as an Indonesian company, is proud to be part of this religious history.
