"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." (
