Yelp.com Review - by Patrick D.

3.0 of 5 stars. I've checked out Missions that are historic landmarks. Although this one isn't (as far as I know), I took the tour anyway (actually I got dragged along on one). It's a new church, and I admit I prefer...

5.0 of 5 stars. Soooo not your typical gaudy Roman Catholic cathedral - I connected with this church from the first moment I stepped foot on it. Architecturally speaking, the design is understated, unpretentious,...

5.0 of 5 stars. Honestly, every time I walk into this church, I just have to sit and reflect on what makes this building so amazing. It's not the building itself, but all the thought that went into the building of...

Yelp.com Review - by Alicia K.

1.0 of 5 stars. It looks like a giant factory and the masses have a distinctly Kumbaya modernist flair to them. Sorry. This place is not a fitting testament to the glory of God. When compared to gorgeous European...

Yelp.com Review - by Jason A.

5.0 of 5 stars. People are basing their reviews on different aspects of the cathedral, the cafe, the gift shop, etc. I'm basing this Yelp review on the "God Factor" You know, the one that trumps all other reviews and...

2.0 of 5 stars. This review is strictly for the food. The Turkey Panini is good but pretty damn expensive as are the pre-made salads. For about 10-12 dollars, you can get a salad and a drink or a panini and a...

5.0 of 5 stars. Fascinating modernist take on a cathedral. If architecture is your thing in the least you need to check it out. It still retains the heart and soul of a religious building while giving a modern look...

Not a good place to have a wedding

I've attended 2 weddings at this overrated building. Granted, it's decent looking but the architecture and overall look of the building did not make me feel any sense of awe or reverence. My mom put it best...

5.0 of 5 stars. Breathetaking. The multi-floor ceilings are great. This is not your normal Catholic Church. You first set your eyes on what I am guessing is a Saint. Exactly who it is, I'm not sure. But the...

5.0 of 5 stars. I love this place, just to absorb and enjoy the design and architecture and feel. You got to pay for parking and have to go early, but its a LA cultural and architectural land mark. Its a church btw.
