Famous spiritual landmarks in San Francisco

San Francisco is a rich and diverse city. Many religions and faiths have homes here that might be of interest to you in planning your spiritual trip.

San Francisco Center for Spiritual Living

The San Francisco Center for Spiritual Living was established in 1954 and is located in the West Portal Neighborhood at 280 Claremont Blvd, between Dorchester Way and Ulloa St. Its building is small and from the outside appears nondescript, however the center is home to a thriving community. The San Francisco Center for Spiritual Living is affiliated with the Centers of Spiritual Living. Its main services are Sunday mornings: they offer both morning meditation and a larger service for all. The center focuses on teaching New Thought principles and philosophy, grounded in an understanding of the divine in each person.

St. Patrick Church

St. Patrick Church, located in South of Mark district, is a Roman Catholic Church that was founded in 1851 to serve the Irish immigrant population. Its second building was built and opened in 1870 after a post-Civil War influx of people required more space. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake destroyed the old church, save the foundation and a few bits of low wall.  The current church was built in the Gothic revival style and features 32 stained-glass windows to represent each of Ireland’s counties. Additionally, the church was built using green Connemara marble. In 1968, it was declared a historic landmark. The church holds multiple daily masses, as well as confession twice a week.

Congregation Emanu-El

Congregation Emanu-El is one of the oldest Jewish communities in California. It was founded in 1850 and received its charter in 1851. Since its inception, the reform congregation has had a strong focus on social justice and outreach in the community. Julie Rosewald was the first female cantor in the United States in 1884. Today, they have ongoing advocacy work with homelessness, the criminal justice system, and refugee and immigrant populations. The synagogue is located at Lake St and Arguello Boulevard. The current building is the congregation’s third building. Arthur Brown Jr. designed it for them and the building is highly influenced by the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. In 1927, American Institute of Architects named Temple Emanu-El the “finest piece of architecture in Northern California.”  The congregation is a central hub for the community and offered classes, events, and regular services for all ages and has over 2,100 households.

Tin How Temple

The Tin How Temple is located in Chinatown at 125 Waverly Place. The temple was founded in 1852 by Chinese immigrants and dedicated to Mazu, the Chinese Sea Goddess. Her title, Tin How, means Empress of Heaven. To reach the temple, you’ll have to climb stairs to the third floor. Hours of visitation are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and donations are accepted. No photography is allowed, however the balcony offers a beautiful view of San Francisco. The temple itself still is home to Taoist monks and houses numerous shrines to other deities. In the 1950s, the temple was closed temporarily for roughly 20 years. It reopened in 1975 and is one of the oldest Chinese temples that is still in operation today.

Types of spiritual trips in San Francisco

Missions

Mission trips are very common church group trips. Are you looking for a way to serve the communities around you? Often people think of mission groups involving distant countries. But if you stop to think about it, the communities that are closer to us are also often in deep need. Your mission trip might decide to serve at a local soup kitchen or a food bank. Other common locations to consider: nursing homes, daycares, and after-school programs.

Sunday School

Sunday School groups are generally filled with young children which can make for a boisterous time. A day trip can allow you to hone in on specific teachings you’ve been covering in class or to explore an important landmark or type of building (such as a monastery, temple, basilica).  Most Sunday school groups consist of children and chaperones. When you’re all in one vehicle, it’s much simpler to ensure that nobody is left behind or has wandered off alone. A Sunday School trip can also mark special occasions, such as participation in stations of the cross or other devotional prayer.

Clergy

When the majority of your time is in service of others, it’s important to remember to take time out of your schedule to connect with your peers and to recharge. Groups of clergy, whether you’re talking about religious communities or about colleagues who work together, can find it useful to take educational trips or to take retreats and pilgrimages together. Sharing time with those who understand your unique ministry challenges allows you to return to your congregations refreshed and renewed.

Retreats

When you need time to recharge, retreats can present a much-needed respite from the day to day challenges that face us all. The opportunity to reflect on our lives, to break bread with others, to gather in prayer, is one that nourishes and rejuvenates. Retreats can occur in centers or in holy places and spiritual locations offer an anchor to the retreat time. When you retreat with a group, you get the benefit of connection with others while also having solo time in prayer and reflection. Traveling on a bus to a retreat location presents time for both individual or communal prayer.
