Fr. Biju Sebastian O. P.

Fr. Biju Sebastian O. P.


Fr.Biju's  first statement was that here we get nothing but chatny. It means when we go out from Seminary we have nothing but we have to make it something. Well, Fr. Biju is a man of principle. He also had one year regency in one of the Parish of Patna Diocese of Bihar. In fact, he had a wonderful and unique experience of regency. Soon after ordination, he was appointed as an assistant parish priest in one of the parish, where he spent first year of priestly life smoothly. In the second year of his priestly life, he got into the hot argument with Parish Priest. Both did not agree in a certain point so, they kept on arguing up 12 O’clock in the night. After sometime, they departed into theirs room with tensions, but Fr. Biju did not get sleep by thinking of the argument and so came out from the room to talk to Parish Priest who was also unable to sleep. He knocked the door of the Parish Priest and asked pardon from him and both hugged and cried each other and came to the dining room and talked up to 2.30am. After his successful stay over there, he was sent to Manglore to look after Postulants. In fact, he was a bit strict in dealing with students but students were happy with him. Then he was called to St. Charles to take the post as a procurator. Since then, he has been working and teaching with great joy and enthusiasm in St. Charles. So, in his sharing as a message to the students he told “To lead a cheerful life we need to be responsible.”
