There two headlines that week on the Southtown front page. One for Fr. McNally’s death and one for my Mother for saving a family of five neighbors. He baptized me, watched over me, and taught me that religion isn’t some dogma wrapped up in an enigma. Good man.
Thanks for sharing! Sacred Heart, its priest and parishioners are truly special.
I became a catholic at the age of 16, Father McNally taught me catechism and religious instruction weekly. He also baptized me many years ago. The church services held there were truly a blessing. I recall one beautiful Christmas Mass, I was fortunate enough to be able to participate as a member of the choir. Father McNally was a kind, wonderful priest, I will never forget him.
