Throughout our childhood, and well 
     
     into our adult years, the only pastor at St. 
     
     Paul’s was Father Mullally. He was 
     
     appointed to the parish in August 1936, 
     
     and remained as pastor until August 
     
     1966. He was a tall, rather slender man 
     
     who always wore his white hair in a 
     
     brush cut. He was not a very good 
     
     homilist and had no singing ability at all. 
     
     In spite of that, each Sunday the Church 
     
     celebrated “high Mass.” The priest sang 
     
     the liturgy, or service, in Latin. The 
     
     choir sang the responses in that language 
     
     as well. It is difficult to describe the 
     
     sounds his lack of a singing voice made. 
     
     However, the good man carried on and 
     
     followed the liturgical protocols of the 
     
     times. 
     
    

    
     He was not a man to socialize. He 
     
     visited with only a couple of families
