Original Toronto Star caption: In the neon heart of Toronto's nightlife; Father Joseph MacDonald celebrates mass every Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Shopper's Drop-In which he operates above a shoe store at the corner of Yonge and Terauley Sts. The 39-year-old priest started the community centre for shoppers and street people 4 years ago. It's open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. MacDonald says the real problem of the city core is not sex shops and bars but the people's spiritual hunger unmet by religious institutions.
