John T. Dunlap

Fra' John Timothy Dunlap (born 16 April 1957) is a Canadian attorney and the 81st Prince and Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, since 2023.

[5] Specialising in corporate and immigration law,[6] he was appointed legal advisor to the Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations.

Appointed a Knight of Magistral Grace of the Order of Malta in 1996,[7] Dunlap professed temporary vows in 2004.

[12] Dunlap's election was made possible by Pope Francis's 2022 revisions to the Order's constitution, which removed the traditional requirement for the Grand Master to prove noble ancestry.

[6] Fra' John Timothy Dunlap received the title of Canon ad honorem of the Saint Lawrence Collegiate Chapter of Vittoriosa by solemn decree of His Grace the Metropolitan Archbishop of Malta Mgr Charles Jude Scicluna on the 16th of June 2023.
