Santu Alfonsus in Tuk Tuk.
Santu Alfonsus Catholic Church, or Gereja Katolik Santu Alfonsus, is a church in Tuk Tuk on Samosir Island, in Lake Toba. I discovered this church one Sunday morning, when I heard the church bell ringing, and worshippers making their way to church. I couldn't help admiring the nice clothes these people are wearing. Truly, they went to church in their Sunday best.
The little church building was packed with worshippers. Some come by motorcycle, but the majority simply walked. I had the chance to take a look at their bible and hymn book. All are in their language. It was a marvellous experience to attend church in Tuk Tuk.
