Diary of a City Priest

Diary of a City Priest is based on the journals of Father John McNamee, a spiritual guide, poet, and seer of many worlds past and present.

Premiere Date

April 1, 2001

Length

60 minutes

David Morse (The Green Mile) stars in this dramatization of the journals of Father John McNamee, a real-life maverick priest running an inner city Catholic parish in Philadelphia. Whether helping a heroin addict illegally purchase methadone so he can go on his honeymoon or rushing to an emergency court session in the middle of the night to bail out a young parishioner, Father McNamee’s daily moral quandaries reveal how one activist priest can rescue lost souls.
