😠 Beautiful, but despite the aesthetics clearly being derived from Spanish Catholicism, it is absolutely not the place for any serious Catholic to get married. Needs Salt and Holy Water ASAP.

    This is an unconsecrated sanctuary in Balboa Park. The interior is very simple but nice.

    We got married here on July 4th. The perfect venue. So beautiful and Teri the coordinator was great!

    Beautiful little chapel. Perfect for small weddings, less than fifty people. Currently there is remodeling going on in the area, so be sure to ask someone who works there if you can't find the place. The pedestrian detours can be confusing

    Stunning chapel hidden in the heart of Balboa Park. Call the Museum of Man to get a showing. It's not generally open to the public, but if you call ahead, they will gladly schedule a showing for you.

    Attended a beautiful wedding here. Small, cozy chapel. Perfect if you & your wedding guests are a group of fewer than 50 people.
