Ordination of a New Bishop

We were delighted to attend the ordination of the new Bishop of Mzuzu Diocese on Saturday August; John Ryan from the Keltigern Order. The service took place in the Stadium near the Parish.  On the day, there was a carnival atmosphere; everyone was very happy and excited to participate in the event.  Fortunately we were seated in front of the choir with a clear view of the altar and all of the proceedings.  The singing and dancing was wonderful and the sun shone brightly.  It was a day to remember.  Many people had purchased the special cloth for the occasion representing St. Peter's Parish.  I was very fortunate to have a skirt made on time for the day.  The highlight for us was hearing Bishop Ryan speak; we could not help smiling when we heard his Irish accent.  Although he has lived in Malawi for many years, his accent is pronounced.
