Church Restoration (Saving God's House)

Christ_in_glory_after_cropped_compressedChrist_in_glory_before_cropped_compressedWith its soaring Gothic profile and wondrous stained glass windows, St. Dominic's is an acclaimed architectural and aesthetic gem that evokes the European cathedrals.  But it is more than an artistic treasure:  this glorious setting is the foundation for St. Dominic's parish community.  From its consecration in 1928, through the seismic retrofit in 1992, to today's restoration efforts, the church building has served as the heart and soul for St. Dominic's ministries and programs, a hub of cultural and civic activity, and a symbol and inspiration to people throughout the Bay Area.

Decades of unforgiving weather have left their mark on the exterior stonework and eroded the structural integrity of the stained glass windows.  Time has also taken its toll on the interior masonry, marble altars, wood carvings, and stone statues.

Thanks to tremendous support from parishioners and friends, St. Dominic's has raised over $11 million toward its multi-phase church restoration effort.

The time has come to complete the work entrusted to St. Dominic's at its founding:  to ensure the legacy of a sacred space for generations to come, and to strengthen and expand its ministries and programs in fulfillment of St. Dominic's commitment to the mission of the Church.
