CATHEDRAL BASILICA OF ST JOSEPH

SAN JOSE

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

San Jose de Guadalupe was the first non-mission parish in California and it gave name to the city of San Jose, the church is nowadays a cathedral (since 1985).

"Joseph is certainly not passively resigned, but courageously and firmly proactive. In our own lives, acceptance and welcome can be an expression of the Holy Spirit’s gift of fortitude. Only the Lord can give us the strength needed to accept life as it is, with all its contradictions, frustrations and disappointments.”

- Pope Francis

The last stop on my journey, All Saints' Day eucharist, in a beautiful, modern and welcoming church with the altar encircled by crowded community.
