There's a particular Friar who I call "Brother D" who has been a counselor, guide, spiritual guide and friend since I was a homeless addict and has become what I would consider a true friend since I got my apartment in 2018. This is one of those "Only in San Francisco" places that make this City a truely special place.

This was an absolutely beautiful church. It's in my neighborhood and while walking my dog I thought I would stop and ask if I could pray. They kindly welcomed me and my dog in and allowed us our time with the Lord. Wonderful wonderful church absolutely gorgeous! They treated us with Kindly and without judgment. Isn't that what church is all about or should be all about. These are people who were walking in their truth. May God-bless them each and everyone. Thank you for allowing us to spend some time there with the Lord. Miss Kari D

I have posted a review of the Episcopal Church of St. John the Evangelist at 15th and Valencia in the city's Mission district neighborhood that I think applies here, too. Both churches are partners in the Gubbio Project, to serve the homeless by allowing them to sleep inside on the pews on weekdays. At this church there is a wonderful weekday Mass at 12:15. I try to come as often as I can, being that I live nearby but again because I have heard many powerful sermons at this quick half-hour service. The congregation is super diverse, reflecting the neighborhood. St. Boniface is a revered saint in Germany and I believe the original congregation so many years ago was German, but as the city and neighborhood have changed over the century, so too has the congregation to reflect that change. There are many Filipino, Vietnamese, Hispanic, and African American congregants. There is a Sunday Mass set up for each of these communities (by language and style of worship, same Catholic Liturgy across the board though). I feel a great sense of welcome and community here, and God is at work with the Franciscans serving the local poor. I highly recommend this church for newcomers, and particularly the short but sweet midday weekday Mass at 12:15. Come experience Christ at this church!

agree to do all possible for homeless but why in seatrows and why no exposed Blessed Sacrament for adoration. The sick need the Lord to heal but also to worship him. A church is the tempel of God; please keep it clean.

This church is in the tenderloin. I've never had a gig in this area before until the Archbishop needed an event photographed at this church. It's definitely a church in the trenches. There were a half a dozen homeless people in the church during the event. It's cool and I think more churches need to be more open to charity like that but it was different. Aside from that the church is beautiful. I recommend visiting this one if you're looking at visiting more traditional churches.

I'm glad to note that they've been open for a while now. I haven't heard mass here since the start of the pandemic a. Ouple of years ago and am glad to report that lunchtime mass os on again for me!!

We attended Mass on Sunday morning, the church is beautiful, the people are welcoming, spiritual and family oriented.

I mostly come here for 12:15PM First Friday Mass, as it is only a block away from my office. I have been coming on-and-off to St. Boniface since 2003. It's a very beautiful church. They have this project called Gubio, with one of their programs is to let homeless sleep on the pews at the back section (after the break) during the hours the church is open. So if you are okay with sporadic "music to my ears" (read: snores, loud ones), it's a nice place to stop by and have a quiet time, or to say some prayers. The neighborhood is much improving now. As in other places, always practice caution when walking there.

I was able to sit and pray for half of an hour one afternoon. It is serene and the people are friendly. I read the sign that is posted on the gates last night; they also have confession on Saturday for 30 minutes. I have yet to receive services.

This is the place where many of us homeless go to rest and feel safe for a few hours. There is no cost nor ticket necessary. Thank you Saint Anthony church.

Very nice Catholic church, which offers mass in Spanish.
