This Norman Gothic Church, located in North Beach, was dedicated as a parish on March 17, 1860.  The towers and outer parts of the building survived the 06 earthquake and fire, but the inside was demolished.  The inside was rebuilt and the Church reopened on March 2, 1919.  It became the National Shrine Of St. Francis Of Assisi in 1999.  A 1926 organ and artifacts of St. Francis Of Assisi and Saint Anthony of Paduca are among some items within the Church.
