St Patrick's Church, San Francisco

Appreciate the many cultures and diversity of people. Also, the Traditional Gothic-type Architectural Building of Worship. Dislike the shortage of priests to administer the Sacrament of Reconciliation(Confession).

Wonderful church. Parishioners are friendly and warm . Priests are good and always deliver a relevant homily . Aside from people wandering around the church during the service which sometimes caused me to get distracted, everything is perfect.

St. Patrick is a real sanctuary for people like me who is far away from home. It gives me a sense of belonging to a Christian community. Worshipping in this church with people from various nationalities can always me you feel the Christian brotherhood. It opens your heart and your mind in understanding and embracing people from every different cultures. During the service you can sense the presence of God and the unity among the churchgoers coming from different parts of the world. This is one of the most powerful feeling- us united in the presence of our Lord. I also commend the enlightening sermons of the priests and the wonderful singing of the choir, as well as the warm hospitality of the ushers. Thank you very much for making our worship more meaningful.

So welcoming, and truly a gem in San Francisco. A beautiful church, with beautiful people, and a beautiful service! A must see for visitors!

St. Patricks is an absolutely beautiful church. The building is now over 100 years old and has beautiful Irish and Italian marble. But that is not the real attraction. Each column has a statue of a Saint in front of it and the sanctuary is both the Tridentine rite and the new rite. It is a wonderful place to worship.

Whether one is coming for Mass or to light a candle at one of the many Shrines in the Church-or coming for the architecture or the NoonTime Concerst on Wednesday at 1230 pm (after the Noon Mass); a visit to St Patrick's will renew child hood memories of peace, stability and a sense of the eternal. While built by Irish immigrants and suriving the 1906 earthquake largely untouched, today's congregation reflects in the cosmopolitan character of The City as some of us 'old timers' still call San Francisco. The only drawback is the lack of parking but MUNI goes right past the front door.
