A Look At St.Ignatius Church

The front of St.Ignatius on the campus of USF

If anybody knows me, then they know I like old churches. I don't why, but I do. St. Ignatius is one of the oldest in San Francisco and one of the largest. This actually, the fifth St.Ignatius built in San Francisco and this one was dedicated in 1914, meaning it is 100 years old this year. It serves the neighborhood and is the university chapel for the University of San Francisco.

I visited it in January and it was still decked out for the holiday season:

Inside

Part of the ceiling

Part of the dome from the inside

The main alter

Some of the many stained glass windows

Some of the art work-All of it is amazing

The church is so large that it has some little chapels inside:

St. Joseph's Chapel-Blessed in 1924

The St. Alphonsus Rodriguez Chapel

And as I walking out, I almost missed this on the side of the church:

Out Lady of Lourdes Grotto

St. Ignatius is a beautiful church. It is great on the campus of USF.
