While in San Francisco for a meeting, my family and I took the car tour following the numbered signs. What a treat! On Sunday we attended worship together at Grace Cathedral on Nob Hill. We participated in Holy Communion which has an indelible on our lives.

An amazing church built in the 60s of the 20th century: unusual images on the stained glass windows, ministers of diverse sexual orientation. For example, on one of the upper stained glass windows the formula e = mc2

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.

One of the most beautiful cathedrals I have ever visited. Full of details, with a very spiritual atmosphere. It is in front of Huntington Park in Nob Hill. To get there you can take the cable car from California More

This is the coolest church I've ever been to. The priests/clergy are really inclusive of the entire SF community, and try to make the cathedral a gathering place for all. I love attending Yoga on the Labyrinth on Tuesday afternoons - it's donation based yoga, in a cathedral, with live music. AWESOME!

Full of great art works and architectural excellence. The Ghiberti Doors is one of the main attractions. There is a 90 min guided tour on select days if you wish to know more about the cathedral and it's history.

A fairly recent addition to frisco, competed in the early 60s, this Episcopal church is the third largest in the USA. Regular Sunday services are held, and the impressive organ booms throughout. No photographs - please be respectful of the services.

Very unusual for Europeans to pay to enter the church with a credit card, but probably so common there. No need, so we could go inside. A beautiful place for believers. For us unfortunately only the only place where you could go to quiet places.

Lovely sacred space, inside and out. Diverse spiritual services. Colorful and vibrant stained glass with detailed designs. Meditation Labyrinth inside and out in courtyard. Amazing gothic style architecture. A "must see" in San Francisco.

Nice!

A Beautiful church, full of ancient stories on the wall, and a huge one that lies in the middle of the town. The mass setting is well organized and beautified by angelic voiced choir. Illumination in thr beginning of mass could have been lit more up to let us read well. People are helpful here.

The Espiscopal Cathedral on Nob Hill, the current structure is from 1964. Curiosity: the entrance has a copy of the Porta del Paradiso by Ghiberti, the original is in the Baptistery of Florence

This doesn't look great from outside if you happen to live near some of Europe's biggest and oldest cathedrals. In fact, even without comparing, it's ... well, grey.

Inside is more interesting and worth a look while you're in the neighbourhood.
