Fr. George Lally
Ordained for the Diocese of Providence RI. Transferred to San Diego diocese around 1970. A man filed a civil suit in 8/02 alleging abuse by Lally on several occasions in 1971, when Lally was assigned to St. Mary’s in El Centro. Then 9 years old, the boy reported the matter to the church’s pastor and Lally was transferred. The diocese agreed to pay college costs for the boy. By the mid-1970s, Lally was no longer listed in Catholic Directories. He left the priesthood in 1979, married a former nun, and was living in California.

Our Database of Publicly Accused does not state or imply that individuals facing allegations are guilty of a crime or liable for civil claims. The reports contained in the database are merely allegations. The U.S. legal system presumes that a person accused of or charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty. Similarly, individuals who may be defendants in civil actions are presumed not to be liable for such claims unless a plaintiff proves otherwise. Admissions of guilt or liability are not typically a part of civil or private settlements. For more information, see our posting policy.
