Gaston N.K. Mabaya
After graduating in engineering from the University of Kinshasa (DR Congo), Gaston Nyabul di Kanza Mabaya took a doctorate in applied science as a fiber optics specialist from Ghent University (Belgium). In the course of his long career as a university professor, researcher, technical adviser, and international consultant, his faith as a Christian went through ups and downs until one day, a call from the Lord led him to rediscover his childhood faith. And so a vocation took root.
On 5 November 2011, he was ordained as a permanent deacon by His Excellency Ronald P. Fabbro, CSB, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of London (Canada).
