"I was struck by a pair of buttress-sharing cathedrals from different centuries, two adjacent monuments that showcase layered history and dramatic architecture amid clusters of cloisters and other historical sites." - RICKSTEVES
Beautiful cathedral with nice accessible walking grounds, fountains and statues. The gift shop is very comprehensive and has many things and books (also a Spanish and Vietnamese section!). There is a monument for Our Lady of La Vang which is beautiful and such a nice way to show love and respect for the large Vietnamese community in OC. Lots of parking as well.

This church is incredibly beautiful and truly magnificent. Loved that it offers various services in different languages, including Vietnamese. The park is very stunning.

Beautiful, beautiful cathedral, but I would highly recommend double checking their mass time(?) We waited for around 30 minutes because the staff told us it would end in about 20-25ish but it didn’t so we took a few peeks near the door and left.
Hopefully I’ll get to visit it again soon! Because it’s truly amazing😍 can’t wait stop by again on a sunny day :)))

We visited Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove on a Sunday afternoon. The cathedral is open to the public and is famous for its reflective glass architecture.
The design is impressive, and the atmosphere is very peaceful. It's a great place to visit. Highly recommended.

Awesome! I wish the main Blessed Sacrament chapel was more beautiful, as He is the jewel of the Cathedral and His room should accordingly and rightfully be adorned as such. I loved the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the Cathedral–very beautiful. I especially loved the St. Callistus Chapel under the Cathedral. The tabernacle was so beautiful and the art/ large images of the saints to the left and right of the chapel are also beautiful. I especially loved the one of Saint Josemaria Escriva.

A very beautiful church and huge. This is one of the most fascinating church I have ever seen. I cannot image how it looks when it is full. When the sun hits the glass windows it looks amazing.

What a place! Didn’t make it for mass but really just came to see the architect. The footprint seems small but the building itself is impressive. The women’s bathroom is a must-visit haha.

Very unique and beautiful church. Absolutely gorgeous.
As far as the mass goes, I'm not Catholic, but my mother-in-law is, so that's why we went. However, I must say that Father Ian seems like a very genuine man who truly loves the Lord. The congregation seems to love him, too. It seems he's giving them what they need to hear.
