"For more than a century, San Francisco Catholics were baptized, married and mourned at Sacred Heart Church on Fillmore Street.

Now the elegant, Romanesque-style building - with its Tuscan columns and towering campanile - is home to a different kind of rite: one involving KC and the Sunshine Band and short-shorts with American flag patterns.

Sacred Heart, once a pillar of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, is now a disco roller rink. Under the glow of the Virgin Mary etched in stained glass, skaters in furry, flashy regalia swoop and glide to the joyous beat of 1970s dance tunes." (visit link)
