Additional observations The Dominican order came to San Francisco in 1850, three years before the Archdiocese of San Francisco was established. The community bought the property for St. Dominic’s in 1863, and in 1873, the first parish church was built. A larger church was built in the 1880s, but collapsed in the 1906 earthquake. The current church on that site was completed in 1928. Work continued on the structure in the years following, including nine flying buttresses added in the 1990s to make the church seismically stable. It is built in the Gothic style; features include a carved marble altar from Italy, carved oak side altars, shrines and confessionals, many beautiful statues, paintings and stained glass windows. St. Dominic’s also houses the Shrine of St. Jude, patron of difficult cases, and a columbarium, where the cremated remains of loved ones can be interred. It is a busy parish with outstanding priests, and has been particularly known in the Bay area for its strong young adult community. The church building has been dubbed “a sermon in stone”; you can also take a docent tour of the parish; call the parish to schedule a group tour or check the parish bulletin for a scheduled tour.
I was there for the Immaculate Conception in 2019. We had Solemn High Mass in the Dominican Rite. The Black Friars’ version of Heaven.
I believe they had ordinations there is am. I almost went as I’ve never witnessed the sacrament but have always wanted to.
very conveniently located
relative to the Pelosi residence
paul & nancy should avail themselves
of the confession times
One should not go to Confession unless one has the intention to change and try to avoid future sin(s). Let’s pray she realizes promoting the killing of babies is wrong and repents. Then, she should go to Confession. And, strive to make reparations for her sins. (One cannot confess bank robbery if one wants to keep all the money.)
You mean I gotta give it back?
Is there human excrement and homeless on the sidewalks in this parish’s neighborhood? Is the neighborhood safe? San Francisco has gone downhill a lot, so that would be important information to include for someone considering driving a considerable distance. Urban blight and unsafe streets might make this one not worth driving to.
Car break-ins are rampant in SF, among other crimes and social decay. I don’t visit the City anymore. It’s literally not worth the risk to go there for anything anymore. I used to live in Alameda in the 1990s and made frequent trips across the Bay Bridge to visit the City. I since have moved out of the Bay Area proper to a town far removed from the crowds and crime that was beginning to spill over into Alameda from Oakland.
St. Dominic’s is in Lower Pacific Heights, two or three blocks north of Japantown to the west. It’s a tonier part of town, away from the Tenderloin, so it’s relatively safe and its sidewalks mostly clean.
I lived in SF for 35 years (in St. Anthony’s parish on the south-eastern side) and have been to St. Dominic’s only once or twice. (I’ve always thought St. Dominic’s was St. Jude’s Church – LOL! – because of the popular St. Jude devotion there.)
St. Dominic’s is in the traditional Gothic style, and with its semi-circular apse and flying buttresses, looks like a French cathedral on a smaller scale. Many San Franciscans think it should have been the cathedral, instead of the modern sprawling edifice called the “giant washing machine agitator.”
Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis is a true story. We’re seeing a contemporary Sodom and Gomorrah unfold in slow motion before our eyes. The crash of San Francisco is no accident. It’s a direct result of gay-friendly policies. Gayness is opposed to nature. Just like you can’t ignore the law of gravity without consequences, you can’t ignore the law of sexual binarity and biological reproduction without consequences. San Francisco has destroyed itself by promoting gayness contrary to social and natural biological laws. It won’t take fire from the sky to destroy SF. SF has doomed itself with gayness and liberalism.
Yeah…all true. Corinth was like that too. And the Church was a light to that place. Just like the priests at St. Dominic’s. The place just radiates holiness and other worldliness for those souls who want a refuge from everything St. Paul taught against.
Do you know what’s keeping San Francisco from falling into the ocean? I know of two reasons, but sure there are more:
1. The perpetual eucharistic adoration at the Cristo Rey Carmelite monastery across the street from USF.
2. The perpetual eucharistic adoration by the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration at their monastery (open to the public) on Ashbury Street (yeah, the exact location where the hippies used to be and is now taken over by the sodomites of Castro Street.)
Both communities of enclosed nuns (the subject of constant mocking by the evil “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence”) were refugees from the anti-Catholic Mexican revolution of 1910. They have been in SF longer than the hippies and the gays and are determined to stay.
These perpetual eucharistic adorations are what’s keeping SF from going the way of S&G.
