On 13 March 2026, St John of God Hospitaller Services celebrated their Patron Saint, a ceremony which took place in Mzuzu
The ceremony was graced by Mzuzu Diocese Vicar General Very Reverend Fr Isaac John Katumbi who before leading the Mass, he started with touring the facility departments and service offer at St John of God in Mzuzu.
During the tour, Father Katumbi said the brothers and the co-workers are doing a great job and he encouraged them to expand their services and reach out to many people in the country.
Father Katumbi also urged the brothers and workers to take from the life of St John of God who dedicated his life to serving the poor, the sick and marginalized with compassion.
Brother Mitterrand Ndambun on behalf of the brothers of St John of God, said it was a wonderful celebration and they will continue working hard offering different services the institution offers.
St John of God Chief Executive officer Dr. Charles Masulani appreciated the mutual partnership with Mzuzu Diocese and all the support the institution is receiving from the diocese.
On expansion, Dr Masulani further said, they have plans to expand the services the facility offers to reach the whole diocese of Mzuzu and expand to Karonga Diocese.
One of the areas the Vicar General visited is the Child Development Centre (CDC), where the coordinator Moster Chirambo said the center focuses on supporting children’s development especially those with special needs, aiming to make a positive impact on young lives.
Saint John of God provides community-based mental health services, and services for children with a disability and special needs, it also runs St John of God University of Health Sciences.
