The Catholic Church of St. Servatius (Gereja Katolik Santo Servatius in Indonesian) in Kampung Sawah, Bekasi, West Java is a parish consisting of mostly Catholic Christians from Betawi community in the Kampung Sawah area.[1][2] Betawi culture is still shown by church members through the use of Betawi language and vocabulary which is derived from the Malay language.[3][4] In Kampung Sawah itself the Betawi culture has survived even though some parts of it have become extinct.[5] One of the Betawi cultural rituals that have survived, although undergoing changes, is bebaritan or what is currently known as the sedekah bumi or earth's Almsgiving.[5] Uniquely, this ritual is currently carried out at the Parish of Santo Servatius Kampung Sawah.[5]
