Here are some photos taken with Father McNally back in 1976 at our wedding. He was absolutely the BEST!
Father McNally married us in 1976 in San Diego. We had the best relationship. He was such a kind and caring priest. We had such good memories. Even after we were married we would visit him in the desert after he was transferred there. We enjoyed his advice and his soft spoken ness. He always was so friendly and accepting of everyone. Our marital journey has been a long one but Father McNally was always in our thoughts and we have never forgotten him. Rest in Peace father. We will never forget you. 💜
Uncle Mike,
You had such a great run on this Earth. While we will so miss being able to be with you here, I know that there was a huge celebration welcoming you to heaven. I can only imagine your reunion with Mom...together again, finally.
Thank you for being the greatest Uncle. Remember how you taught me to drive? I am so grateful for all the doors you opened for me. I will always treasure the time we got to spend together, when I lived in Pala.
Thank you for all the words of wisdom and guidance, which you burned into my heart over the years. You always knew just what I needed to hear.
Thank you for being the patriarch of our family for the past 8 plus years. It's kind of daunting to think that now I'm "the eldest" in the family. I'll need your prayers more than ever!
And, speaking of prayers, thank you for always holding myself, my siblings, my kiddos, and all of your family in prayer and close to your heart. We were blessed to have you in our lives.
Keep blessing us, Uncle Mike.
Loving and missing you, Cindy

Dear Father Mike, As I was adopted out of the family, you welcomed me when I returned. With kind words, continued support and constant prayer, everyone you encountered was blessed by your love. I will NEVER forget your baptizing Felicity and Carter, twin cousins together in the Log Chapel. Your true joy for life is a gift for all who met you. Much Love, Elizabeth
My name is Cindy Minarik, My family and I were heart broken after hearing of Fr. Mikes passing. He was a very dear friend of ours. We have known and kept in close contact with him since he was Pastor at Blessed Sacrament Church in 29 Palms in the late 70's. He got me involved in the music program directing the Youth Choir and later the Adult Choir and I'm still doing it for over 40 years. We would often spend the 4th of July with him when he was in San Bernardino with our entire family. We were just talking about the good times we had with him on the 4th of July just the other day, not knowing he had passed until the next day. We all had the best times with him through the years with the family. He loved children and always enjoyed being around them. They also loved him and his humor. So enjoyed his talks and wisdom. In times of hardship and troubles through the years, he always had such an insight to help us see sides of things we never noticed or knew. He was comforting and so knowledgeable and caring. We all so miss Him. God gave us the best on Earth and now He has the best in Heaven.
Rest in Peace, Fr. Mike. We will always love and miss you.
Minarik, Phipps and Horvath Family
