    Our Lady of Guadalupe Outdoor Grotto
    Noel M.

    Truly, a beautiful Church of God, supported by wonderful, generous, and faithful parishioners and served by 2 wonderful pastors: the Reverend Brian Corcoran and Reverend Ben Awongo of the Apostles of Jesus (A.J.). This vibrant Catholic community is united by beautiful ministries, which include a very talented Music Ministry, a fantastic Religious Education ministry, a Youth Ministry and a ministry of Junior-High faith formation, and a rich Hispanic Ministry. All the ministers, team, staff, and employees are dedicated to serving God and helping their ministries' members and this parish to grow closer to God. Several organizations serve this parish and are closely connected and directly affiliated with St. John's, which include the Altar Society, Boy Scouts, Catholic Men's Fellowship, Culture of Life, Guadalupanas, Holy Name Society, Knights of Columbus, a Seniors Organization, Saint Vincent de Paul, and the Worldwide Marriage Encounter. The Church itself is very large and grand, representing to the world on the outside what it contains inside: Love and Truth. There is a beautiful outdoor grotto dedicated to our Lady of Guadalupe directly behind the church. If you are passing by the area, you can stop here to pray and give thanks to God because there is 24/7 adoration.

    The Altar Society is active & reverent & there are a surprising number of reverent younger men in the Knights of Columbus.

    Went in on Saturday for food services only to have individuals start acting unruly when I went to…read morecomplain Dan came at me with wild hand gestures I had to tell him four times to put his hands down when talking to me only to be told to leave or he would call the cops. This is just disgusting and outrageous you go to complain about unruly people only to have staff treat you very poorly shame on this church and why don't you have more staff to monitor what's going on and have a talk with Dan and tell him you don't come at people aggressively and in a threatening way I don't care if you don't like what you're hearing if people weren't acting up I wouldn't have had to complain two thumbs down for this so called church!!!!

    I'm a queer person. I am 110% included, accepted and celebrated at St Andrew's. I appreciate so…read moremuch that I can participate fully in all activities, leadership roles, and ministries. Speaking of which, they are totally focused on loving their neighbors-- what Jesus said to do. All love. No judgment. Great children's program and robust youth group. Excellent music. Outdoor coffee hour. Beautiful worship. They provide a hot meal and showers on Saturdays for people in the community. Food pantry on Thursdays. Mail service. Document storage. Working with community organizers to keep elected officials on track with their promises for affordable housing and other services to improve Encinitas and the lives of people here. They're not perfect. No group of humans is. But they love people, and are always growing and striving to be better. I highly recommend St Andrew's!

    One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen! Today I needed more spirituality and culture…read morethan going to the gym so I checked what was going on for free around and saw an architectural tour of this church organized by La Jolla Historical Society. As I had recently attended another tour organized by them I knew that this would not disappoint. Oh my, it exceeded expectations! I would not enter the post-modern architectural label by Charles Moore, as another fellow Yelper has said it all with details. I will tell you how this place made me feel. The Church of Nativity made me feel at home, welcomed, nurtured. The presenter/tour guide is a lawyer who grew up attending it and still does. He did an excellent job making people welcome (we were many attendees) and answered the questions with grace and knowledge. Thanks so much to him and all that participated. The gardens with orange trees are wonderful and peaceful. I loved the asymmetry in the disposition of the seating areas, the cross not placed where you would expect, the minimalism, the pristine state of everything. My favorite thing was the stars sculpture/lights adorning the altar. That is so unique. Never seen that at any church and just the craftsmanship, design and quality of materials is impressive. Another favorite part were those unique stained glass windows. So enchanting. It was a very sensorial experience for me, even if no music was played, I think I heard a celestial choir direct from heaven! A must visit hidden gem (whether you are spiritually inclined or not).

    We were fortunate to join the Church of the Nativity parish when its founder Msgr. Dennis Clark was…read morestill it's pastor.  The Church itself is an masterpiece that reflects three components of its California architectural heritage: a rancho hacienda with the Church buildings set back from the street and partially hidden by trees; a mission; a monastery.  Enter the grounds, and you are in a place of peace and tranquility ... and of artistic treasures and architectural details, which are reason enough to visit Nativity.  What is really special is attending Sunday Mass here, with it rich liturgy, in one of the nicest churches in the United States.
