Born in Floriana on 7 April 1906 on the island of [[Malta]], Ganado studied at the Lyceum and [[University of Malta]] and graduated as a lawyer in 1931. He was active at university, being President of the University Students' Council (KSU), and shortly after became president of the lay movement, Catholic Action.

Ganado succeeded in steering the paper through turbulent times preceding the [[World War II|Second World War]], and not only converted Lehen is-Sewwa into a daily paper, but also gave it a new look. He widened its scope by covering a wider range of subjects. He made it a means for promoting and disseminating [[Catholic Culture|Catholic culture]] with a broad view on all religious, social, cultural and even political spheres of Maltese society set within a global context. During the [[Spanish Civil War]] Ganado wrote several articles in support of [[Francisco Franco]].
