 Grace Cathedral, Nob Hill, San Francisco by karenincalifornia Sitting on the top of Nob Hill is Grace Cathedral, a beautiful French Gothic style Episcopal church. The original church on this site was much smaller and was built during the Gold Rush era in 1849. It was destroyed in the fire following the 1906 earthquake. The present cathedral was built on the same site and completed in 1964. Inside are beautiful murals depicting the history of the Anglican church, as well as California history. The church is open to the public during the day. Leave a Comment

 St. John Serbian Orthodox Church, San Francisco by karenincalifornia San Francisco is a melting pot of many different cultures which have become part of the city over the last 150 years. One example is the large population of Serbs that have immigrated to San Francisco. The St. John Serbian Orthodox Church is located in the Western Addition area of the city. The church was designed in the Byzantine style that is the trademark of many Serbian Orthodox churches in Serbia and Montenegro. I'm kind of partial to this church because I got married here.

The Church of John Coltrane is a small community church dedicated to spreading the gospel by virtue of the music of John Coltrane. You think i'm kidding?? I'm not. If you're in town on a Sunday, be sure to walk by the place and take some time to listen to the services. This is a San Francisco treasure to be sure. If you're using an old guidebook, please be aware that the church was evicted from its home of 30-yrs and is now located at 930 Gough St. Leave a Comment

The complete name for this church on Geary Blvd is Russian Holy Virgin Cathedral of the Church in Exile, and this is the west coast spiritual center for those of the Russian Orthodox faith. There's also a Russian High School as part of the complex. Found on the right side of Geary on the way out to Cliff House and Sutro Baths (see my tips on these), the dramatic gold onion dome and frescoed icons of the apostles can't be missed even on a quick a drive by. The interior is equally fantastic and worth a closer look. Unfortunately, I don't have images of the interior, but the web link below does, and explains a little more about the church functions. It's located at 6210 Geary Blvd., San Francisco, CA 94121 Leave a Comment

 Saint Francis of Assis in North Beach by atufft Within the North Beach area, the Church of Peter and Paul right on Washington Square is beyond fame, as it has appeared in movies, and was where Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe were famously photographed after their wedding at City Hall. But, even more historic is the smaller St. Francis of Assisi Shrine at the Corner of Columbus and Vallejo Streets, nearly across from the venerable Trieste Cafe coffee house. This was the first non-Spanish language parish church in California, founded in 1849, more than a decade before the Italians began to immigrate into North Beach. The basic structure including the towers actually predates the 1906 earthquake, having been dedicated in 1860, although extensive restoration work with steel reinforcement was completed in 1918. See the 2nd link below for a great image of the church standing amid the ruins of North Beach in 1906. The image here was taken during a cup of espresso at Trieste Cafe Leave a Comment

At 7am every morning, Grace Cathedral opens its elegant doors. In it you'll find a labyrinth based on a very old (13th century?) labyrinth in a French church. There is also a labyrinth outside. Labyrinths are NOT mazes. There is one route into the center; the same route out. Walking a labyrinth is an act of meditation, perhaps even prayer. It is a wonderful thing to do whatever your spiritual leanings. The Cathedral is on the corner of Taylor and California. If you go early in the morning, you can see elderly folks doing Tai Chi across the street in a park. Leave a Comment

St. Mary's Cathedral, located Geary and Gough St. Something about this place always intrigued me. Yeah its a tourist trap, not too mention a freakin church, but its off the beaten path for me. Leave a Comment

This lovely church is truly holy ground. The silence and coolness of the interior will take you a world away from your busy life. What a delightful break in a busy sightseeing day! Located on Filbert street off Washington Square. Leave a Comment
