Review of Grace Cathedral

It's a great building. Resembles a gothic cathedral (copy of Notre Dame in Paris) in all senses except that it was built in the 20th century. The calmness, the atmosphere, the acoustics, the lighting... They all contribute to the feeling of being in a piece of heaven on Earth, although it's built in concrete on stone (that also means it's a great safe place for whenever the great earthquake comes).
And being from the 20th century it has adapted perfectly to our current society's necessities and customs, hosting a variety of social events throughout the week outside of their service hours.
Definitely worth the visit. No excuse if you're a resident, and if visiting the Bay area, try to make some space in your schedule. Still haven't seen the boys choir perform, but saw them practicing one day and that's another great reason to visit, but check for the times when they perform.
