The development of globalization, digital technology, and social change has influenced the way young people understand and live out their faith. Secularism tends to place religion in the private sphere, so that religious values do not always become the basis for decision-making in daily life. This study aims to analyze the challenges of secularism to the formation of the identity of Catholic youth in the modern era and to formulate relevant religious education responses in addressing these dynamics. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method that examines various scientific literature, Church documents, and research findings related to the phenomenon of secularism and the formation of the religious identity of Catholic youth. The results of the study indicate that secularism has a complex impact on the faith life of young people, including decreased participation in Church activities, the emergence of individualistic attitudes, and the tendency to view religion merely as a formal identity. However, on the other hand, the modern era also opens opportunities for young people to develop their faith creatively through the use of digital technology and involvement in faith communities. Therefore, Catholic religious education and pastoral accompaniment that are dialogical, contextual, and participatory are very important in helping Catholic youth integrate their faith into daily life. This study is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions for educators and pastoral ministers in fostering the faith identity of Catholic youth in modern society.

The rapid advancement of digital technology in higher education has transformed learning and assessment systems, particularly through the adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Computer-Based Tests (CBT). However, many university students still face challenges in adapting to digital examination environments due to limited technical experience and digital literacy. This Community Service Activity (PKM) aims to enhance students’ academic readiness and digital competence through the implementation of a Moodle-based LMS at Universitas Murni Teguh. The activity was conducted in the form of an interactive workshop, including system introduction, simulation of CBT, guided practice, and discussion sessions involving university students and lecturers. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding of LMS features, confidence in using CBT systems, and ability to manage digital-based examinations effectively. Active participation and engagement during the sessions reflected high enthusiasm and adaptability toward digital learning transformation. This activity demonstrates that the implementation of LMS Moodle is effective in improving academic preparedness and digital literacy among students, and can serve as a sustainable model for strengthening technology-based learning in higher education institutions.
