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.
