San Francisco, California: Shrine of Saint Jude Thaddeus

 

About the Saint Dominic’s Church San Francisco:

The shrine is located inside Saint Dominic’s Church here in San Francisco. Saint Dominic’s is one of the most beautiful churches in San Francisco, having been established in 1873, and is run by the Dominicans.

The front of the altar carries a relief carving of Fra Angelico’s famous painting of St. Dominic at the foot of the Cross of Christ. Surrounding this center are statues of the 12 apostles and saints. The altar in the Lady Chapel is of Carrara marble obtained through Amadeo Magnini of Florence. Many other features, such as the magnificent stained glass windows, make this a wonderful visit. Tours of the Church are available through volunteer docents in the parish.

The Church includes the Novitiate for the Western Dominican Province.
