Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption (St. Mary's Cathedral)

The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, completed in 1971, is the mother church and seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of San Francisco. Its modernist, saddle-shaped design and status as the archdiocesan cathedral make it the site of major liturgies, ordinations, and diocesan pilgrimages. The cathedral regularly hosts visiting pilgrims and groups attending archdiocesan events and Catholic devotional services. It is a documented destination for those making devotional visits to the archdiocese.
