Saddleback Church

Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada

This church is quite large. The people in this church are happy. I like that! There are many palm trees. They also have Saddleback students ministries. When I walked it seemed it was a beautiful place with trees and flowers. After church, people can play volleyball. A must see!

Christ Cathedral

A world-famous landmark for people of many faiths, the former Crystal Cathedral was synonymous with Rev. Robert Schuller and his “Hour of Power” television evangelization. When the Diocese of Orange purchased the church and its 34-acre complex in 2012, Catholic leaders committed to respect the famous site’s legacy while transforming the unique building and grounds into the vibrant new heart of worship for the 1.3-million Catholics living in Orange County. The Christ Cathedral campus is a landmark beacon and growing spiritual center for the Christian faithful in Orange County and is filled with a collection of architecturally significant buildings. The buildings located on the 34-acre campus total almost 320,000 square feet. Buildings include the; Christ Cathedral, Arboretum, Large and Small Galleries, Tower of Hope, Crean Tower, Diocese of Orange Pastoral Center, and Cathedral Cultural Center. The campus also has a serene cemetery, the Cathedral Memorial Gardens.

Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano

Reviewed By 598marisap - Dallas, United States

St. John O'Sullivan was in charge of this mission in 1910, and he was the one to build it. The church is just a jewel in the middle of the mission. I love the grand golden retablo, it is very similar to the ones from the colonial period in Mexico. I also love the sculptures of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Juan Diego. This is a wonderful place to attend mass on Sundays.

Good sermons, fresh flowers, new & traditional hymns. full choir with soloists. Three ministers +two parish associates. Close to cafe's and the firehouse at the end of the shopping streets. Nice congregation spans the age ranges. Involved in many important projects and outreach activities. Relaxed dress code. shorts & sandals OK>
