And these physical appearance changes in the church buildings occurred in certain pattern that indicates inculturation process between Catholic religion with Javanese culture.In order to find the inculturation pattern, these changes occurred were related to the community background, including factors such as physical environment situation, socio-cultural concept of Javanese people at that time, missionary methods used on the case-study region, and inculturation theory in Catholic perspective. It was then found that inculturation in Catholic church building would never reached the final stage or be syncretized with local culture, because the religion itself had norms which could not be substituted.
