Fr John Ryan

27th August 2016:

This is the evevation of our dear friend Fr John Ryan, to become Bishop of Mzuzu Diocese.

A member of the Kiltegan order, Fr John has spent almost forty years in Malawi and is head of the Mathematics Department, in the University of Mzuzu, where he specialises in coding theory. He succeeds Bishop Joseph Makasa Zuza, also a dear friend, the president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Malawi, who was killed in a road accident in January 2015 after a decade in the position.

Bishop John is a very special man, who has boundless energy and huge involvement in his College and Community work and I am sure he will continue to cycle around Mzuzu as usual.
Everyone at Wells for Zoë wish him well.
