Hist/Bio Note

Most Holy Redeemer Church in San Francisco, California was established in the Castro district as a Roman Catholic parish in 1900. It describes itself as an inclusive Catholic community embracing all people of good faith regardless of their background, gender, race, social status or sexual orientation. Archbishop John R. Quinn (1977–1995) regularly visited this parish during the annual 40 Hours Vigil held throughout the 1980s in support of those who were HIV-positive and their caregivers. Information from Wikipedia.
