The Best Churches in San Francisco

This is truly one of the great episcopal cathedrals (top 3) that we have in the United States, and if a neo-gothic design and architecture are your thing you should stop by this beautiful structure for some peace and quiet in your busy day. It's in a special location on Nob Hill perched above the city's busiest districts. I try to come here when I spend time or weekends in the City, I have gathered here for worship which is usually well attended. There is a nice store, men's and boy's choir, and plenty of activities otherwise if you are not a Christian. There is also an inter-faith chapel. This is a beautifully maintained and regal structure.

I had wanted to visit this church for a long time. It is visible from a long way away. The styling of the building is very eye catching and attractive. It is a very unique and modern design. The day I visited there was a big event for small kids going on outside with several busses for different schools. The woman were wearing flowers in there hair. The men wore floppy hats. Both wore colorful cloths while the kids were busy playing a game with what looked like a ball on a parachute. Ah, May... It made for a festive visit and I really enjoyed it. I want to visit again next time I am in town for a more peaceful visit where I can look around better.

Beautiful Saints Peter and Paul Church is a Roman Catholic church located in the North Beach District. Completed in 1924 it originally served the area's Italian-American community and with the passage of time now also serves Chinese-American Roman Catholics. Weekly Masses are offered in English, Italian, and Chinese as well a monthly Mass in Latin and is open to the public. The architecture style of the church is Romanesque with a stone façade and two 191-foot twin spires. Many interesting features are contained inside, including replicas of Michelangelo's La Pieta and The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine. Directly across the street is Washington Square park whose large open space.
