NATIONAL SHRINE OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI

"A sanctuary of peace in the heart of San Francisco"

The National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi consists of the Historic church built in 1849 and our beautiful Porziuncola chapel. But most of all our consecrated Shrine is the “holy ground” where God’s grace extends the blessings of peace, healing, and joy to all who visit.
