The OGF Council organized for the Brothers in Middle Adulthood (Senior) a three day seminar in order to retrospect into the lifeproject as well as to enhance the religious commitment on the theme of “Brothers’ generative energy
towards organizational productivity.” Br. Praveen, the Minister Provincial addressed the Brothers saying, " We are challenged today to put the right thinking on the table and work at it. Our common meetings, House Chapters, Plenary Council and Provincial Chapters are to be used to discuss the real life issues and address them objectively. This gathering of the brothers enables such a discussion and aims towards renewal and growth of oneself. It is a space for honest sharing of one’s life and vocation as a friar minor. This genuine sharing can help one another grow together as friars minor. We shall create positive energy here in this space that revitalizes our vocation as individuals and life in common in our fraternities." Bishop Francis Serrao, Bishop of Shimoga animated the friars with lively discussions and presentations. The Province thanks Br Amal M, the Moderator of OGF Counil and memebrs of the OGF Council for their interest and organisation. It is indeed joy to see many participating in it.
