Abstract
In this paper, the Catholic Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Bogor Cathedral) which was built at the end of the 20th century will be examined the aspects of space and material culture by linking the concept of life course and the concept of immateriality of material culture. This research will use a qualitative method by Ken Dark which consists of observation of data, decomposition of data, processing data into evidence and interpretation of data. As a result, the Catholic Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary Bogor represents three of the four stages of Christian life course into the three parts of the space. One stage, namely "Judgment Day" does not represent into space that should be referred to as chancel with rood screen as its main material culture. The absence of chancel space occurred due to the change in values and dogma embraced by the Catholic Church after the reform church movement occurred in the early 15th century. Because of that, the representation of the "Judgment Day" in the chancel room experienced the process of immateriality and was replaced with a new value that is the value of compassion, warmth and kinship represented in the form of statues of the Holy Family.KEYWORDS: Catholic Church, materiality Christian life, space, life course
