I am not a catholic anymore, but I go here because these are the roots of California's spiritual beginnings. I enjoy the history lessons, the memorabilia that are on display and the sense of awe in the chapels. Love of God brought men across the oceans to bring a message and a different way of life to California. No, it... More
