The focus of the research is pastoral presence as one of the methods to foster the quality of faith of urban students in Malang city. The idea of the research is motivated by the existence of urban students who are less active in church life and services in the Cathedral Parish of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel. Many students tend not to celebrate the Eucharist on Sundays and think that church activities do not provide benefits for their lives. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach related to the phenomenon of urban students' inactivity. The research subjects were urban students at Tribhuwana Tunggadewi University. From the results of in-depth interviews, two factors were found, namely internal and external factors that cause urban students to be less active in life and service in the Church. Internal factors are related to the lack of awareness of students in church life. While external factors include the location of the Church which is quite far from the place of residence, students are busy completing assignments and lack of assistance and guidance from the priest. Recollection activities for urban students become one of the platforms to gather, teach and direct students to be active in life and service in the Church. This is a form of application of the encyclical Christus Vivit about the role of priests for young Catholics.
