At home he served as curate with similar success in the parishes of Murroe and Tipperary, and was promoted in 1900 to be P.P. of Drangan. This position called forth his best energies. He redecorated the fine Parochial Church in Drangan, and placed in it a beautiful High Altar of rich marble. He practically rebuilt and improved the church at Cloneen. Also he built a new school for the Sisters of Mercy at Drangan. The success of the local creamery, and the great extension of the poultry-raising industry among his people, were chiefly due to his activity. When he went to Drangan he found an unusual number of his people evicted, their farms derelict or in the hands of planters. Their restoration looked hopeless, but he undertook it. He worked for it with tact and courage, and he succeeded most completely. He leaves the lands of Drangan and Cloneen in the hands of the people, the evicted restored, the farms nearly all purchased. His people know well how earnestly he laboured for their temporal and spiritual welfare. They were most constant in inquiry and prayer for him during his illness; their mourning for his too early death is most sincere and genuine. Father Ryan was a convinced and practical supporter of the Irish Parliamentary Party, was Chairman of the South Tipperary Executive, and was the object of a most cordial resolution of gratitude and regret from that body when bad health forced him to resign. His death will be keenly regretted throughout the Archdiocese of Cashel.

Death of Very Rev. James Ryan, P.P., Freeman's Journal, Dublin, 29 September 1908, p 7:

We regret to announce the death of the Very Rev. James Ryan, P.P., Drangan, Co. Tipperary, which occurred at the Parochial House on Monday morning. For the past year his health had been gradually failing. When recovery was known to be hopeless, he faced the end bravely, and spent the last few months in most devout preparation.
