Description
Books Inc. on Market is proud to welcome Fr. Donal Godfrey for a reading and signing of his new historical book about the Catholic presence in San Francisco: "Gays and Grays: The Story of the Gay Community at Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church." Joining Fr. Donal Godfrey will be three-time Emmy winner and writer Patrick Mulcahey.Most Holy Redeemer Parish in San Francisco is in the center of the world's first gay neighborhood, The Castro, and was the center of the hostility to the arriving gay population in the 1970s. Author Father Donal Godfrey shows how, over time, the old time parishioners, or "the gray," bonded with the new comers, "the gay," particularly in a joint compassionate response to the crisis of AIDS. Most Holy Redeemer was changed from a dying parish to a vital place where gay and straight people together created something new.
