This cathedral is the most peaceful place in all of busy San Diego. Ive attended a few masses here recently and they are moving and inspiring and I always get exactly what I needed that day. Visitors are welcome. Wear a mask and they will explain to you how to sit during the Covid situation.

It was a very beautiful Catholic cathedral. There are many life size statues of many wonderful saints. There is also a new statue of Mother Teresa sank teresa and the Pope John it is gorgeous cathedral lovely lit and the acoustics are wonderful. For a mass today we had the I dont know how many pipes are in the Oregon but its a big organ up in the loft and there was singing at the mass it was very spiritual. It reminded me of masses when I was a child absolutely lovely. There is a restroom and free parking.

Simple but beautiful church. The outside of this church looks great and the inside gives praise to God too. Lost a star because the prayers did not specifically mention our men and women in the military. Remember that Jesus died for our soul but our men and women in the military are ready n willing to die for our freedom, including the freedom to gather at places just like this church. Also, the homily •almost• had a political bias. No politics! The simple solution is usually not the best solution.

Dont attend the Cathedral regularly, but I have always left with a good experience. Thought provoking sermons, very well organized, good choice and amount singing. Parking is always convenient just across the street. Always room to sit.

Beautiful church. They have some beautiful statues representing our blessed Mother and so many of our wonderful saints. We attended daily mass celebrated at noon and it was great. The priests homily was definitely uplifting with regard to how we each are called to lift each other up. .n

Actually, I visited my friend in building behind Saint Joseph Cathedral!However, I have visited inside Cathedral months ago!Impressive pastor led impressive remodel of Saint Joseph Cathedral! Beautifully stunning stain glass windows witness to Salvation History! Truly GOAT! Greatest of all time!The new statues, candles, confessionals, and other renovations are truly renovations! Catholic Church is the Kingdom of Triune God on earth! Holy Spirit is holding its act together though sinners are a plenty. Catholic Church is heavens hospital for saving souls. As Temples of the Holy Spirit, Bishops have divine moral obligation to live lives of holiness and purity!As baptized Catholics, we believe the Church is true! As Blessed Virgin Mother, Mary mandates,we do whatever He tells us so we honor her since He said Behold your mother!I love the beauty, truth, and goodness in being Catholic! Our Lady of Good Success, triumph and reign!

I loved it! I wanted to use the restroom soooooo bad after driving for almost 4 hours and no place for that anywhere around but this beautiful church thank God! The only thing is that I couldnt find parking apparently they dont have. Not nice. But I stayed for a while is a nice church tho. :)

I had no ententions of coming here and ended up listening and watching a 1207 mass. It was 15 yrs since i had been to church. So many memories from the past. All good ones. It brought some much needed peace i wasnt looking for going through some horrible times rt now watching my father fade away with dementia was something no one ever prepared me for and its been killing me slowly. I hope and i know ill be back. My father always took us to mass every Sunday growing up showed us what was rt and what was wrong. To work hard and to be humble not to tske one penny if it didnt belong to you. I guess coming to church was a blessing today. Thank you

Catholic church in the heart of downtown San Diego. Confessions are given on Saturdays and weekly and daily mass are celebrated as well. Plenty of off street parking as well as street parking, located in a safe area of downtown (Cortez Hill) just a few blocks from the 5 freeway.

I noticed how the new pastor Fr. Navarra seldom gave Sunday morning personal homilies and instead gave this responsibility to his volunteer deacon. The deacon always tries his best, thanks for the effort, we appreciate it!

My poor mom after a month and a half still has Hopes this lady will return her call I just dont have the heart to tell my mom that this lady is a wolf dressed in sheep clothes and I also have an uncle that dose a lot of volunteer work that I havent told him about this. I hope someone can read this and make a change this breaks my heart God is not about egos

My wife went to school here 50 years ago. Though we live across the county, she still comes here for mass several times a month. Though eclectic attendees, she finds it safe and supportive of her spiritual life. I find it inspirational. Good parking in a lot across the street. The church rents the lot for its masses so there is no charge.
