IT is a particularly sad time for The Catholic Leader and its readers, with the death of columnist Fr Kevin Ryan last weekend.
Fr Kevin was much loved by the readers.
He was gifted in the way he could write about his practical, down-to-earth insights on living the Christian faith, and that had earned him a loyal and devoted following through his weekly Page 2 column Real Life.
It takes a special person to write a column of such quality and wisdom week after week, and still maintain relevance and appeal. Fr Ryan did that with style and humility.
He will be greatly missed. May he rest in peace.
