St. Francis by-the-Sea American Catholic Church
St. Francis by-the-Sea American Catholic Church, Catholic church building in Laguna Beach, California
St. Francis by-the-Sea American Catholic Church exhibits bungalow architecture combined with Romanesque and Mediterranean Revival elements at its Park Avenue location.
The church structure, designed by Percy Wise Clarkson in 1934, received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in June 1988.
The building stands as a testament to early 20th-century American Catholic architecture and represents the transition of its founder from Episcopal to Catholic traditions.
The church schedules multiple services throughout the week, including Saturday vigils at 4:45 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. in Spanish, plus Sunday morning masses.
The National Sick Call Set Museum within the church contains historical artifacts related to religious practices and ministerial duties to ill parishioners.
