Following his ordination Father Nally
was-assigned 10 st. Peters Church, Pine
Bluff, Ark, where he remained a few
years. Then he went TO st. Joseph's
church, Wilmington, Del. His third as
signment was at the local church, which
is said 10 have the largest colored con-
gregation in the country.
Under Father Nally's direction eX-
tensive improvements OF the church
were begun and are nearing compile
tion. including the erection Of a new
marble altar rail with gold posts. As
slstant pastors OF the church are the
Rev. Joseph Murphy and the Rev. Father
