Grace Cathedral
Neo-Gothic Landmark
Back to Grace Cathedral
I liked Grace Cathedral because of its architecture but also because of the interfaith chapel for Aids victims. There is a per se entrance fee but it is suggested to give a donation. Take a walk around and admire the stained glass windows BUT it is a must that you walk around the labyrinth on the inside and the other on the outside.

The stained glass windows tower over a spacious entry way drawing one into the space. The wood work is nicely carved and warms up the colder feel of the stone work.

I loved Grace Cathedral. I only had a short time to spend in the cathedral, and I spent it meditating in the labyrinth and gazing into the eyes of the sculpture of St. Francis. The experience was one I will tuck in my heart and carry with me always.

We actually sneaked into this during a wedding that was happening which made it even more beautiful! If you're into architecture and ornate materials, this is a must see!

acoustics bad for sunday church but the building is lovely and the labyrinth is magic -- also, despite the acoustics, the boy choir is lovely and this church epitomises the Episcopal Church love of all people regardless of ... whatever

The Cathedral is a grand neo-gothic building, well-proportioned, with superb stained glass. The music programs and the preaching are stellar. At any service or function, the congregation/audience will be delightfully diverse. Despite the central city location, there is always a tranquil feeling about Grace Cathedral.

here is San Francisco's great Gothic space and the two best visual items in the building are the ever-fascinating windows of Charles Connick, who designed the earliest windows, circa (1930-1960)

NO there is also National Cathedral in Washington DC. It is as much like a European cathedral as the ones in NYC and San Francisco. classic.
