5 /5 Frances Peterson: Great Franciscan parish with massive outreach/ministry to the citys poor. Prepare to share the church with them, Gods little ones. They are Jesus in disguise- a distressing disguise. They are allowed to rest quietly in the back half of the church while worshippers sit in the front half. There will be a strong odor but they keep the doors open and the wind blowing through.
The churchs interior is magnificent. Dont miss it. It is uplifting and inspires one to elevate ones mind and heart up to God. The street is closed off to create a plaza and a safe community space so park at Civic Center garage and walk three blocks, or take public transit. For elderly or handicapped, the security team can allow your vehicle to enter the street to drop off at the church gates for easier unloading of passengers.
