MY REGENCY EXPERIENCE IN BASEN COMMUNITY Experience is a best teacher of life

Nelson Toppo

My regency program started on 7th June in the Basen community under the guidance of Br. Jerome. He is a good friar, who always offered me ample opportunity to grow in my personal life as a friar minor. Whenever I asked for any help, the community was ever ready to help me, especially in the area of my ministry. My main regency ministry was to take care of the Apostolic students and teach them the values of St. Francis of Assisi and make them better Franciscans for the future. I also accompanied the Apostolic students in their games, worked with them in the vegetable garden and prayed together with them. Apart from that I was also involved in the parish ministries, like animating the youths of our parish, visiting house and teaching catechism to the children.

Involving myself to these ministries helped me to discover my own potentials and abilities as a true learner and teacher. It was a wonderful experience for me to be involved in such ministries. I really enjoyed doing the work and carried out the responsibilities that were entrusted to me. I accepted them willingly for my own personal growth and for the personal discovery of being a better Friar Minor.

I am very grateful to God who accompanied me through the whole of my regency program. I also thank my regent master Fr. John Sekhar and the Basen community for their fraternal support and encouragement.
