What visitors say

Stunning church with an amazing amount of seating. Was there for my brother's wedding. Good acoustics and lighting. Mass has a good choir using organ, piano, and trumpet player. It is so beautiful inside, and Fr. gives sermons concise and on point. They serve donuts and coffee after outside. Attended Easter mass and had no problems with parking or seating. It's a warm and welcoming parish where all were greeted warmly. The cruciform architecture is on proud display with stunning stained glass filling the clerestory in every section. The church has incredible attention to detail everywhere you look without seeming gawdy. It is beautifully maintained. But that is just a building. The true beauty of a church is better measured by its members and it's culture which comes from parish leadership. Everyone we met and saw interacted with genuinely welcoming hearts and were very gracious, all while being inundated with newcomers and nonparish members. If you have the chance, add this to your list of places to visit whether you wish to attend mass or seek a quiet moment of reflection. Immaculata Parish at the University of San Diego is a majestic Spanish‑Revival church, dedicated in 1959. With its iconic blue mosaic dome, red tile roof, cruciform layout, and soaring bell tower, it seats about 900. Adorned with Italian chapels, stained glass, and marble, it serves both students and the community. On my quest to visit every Catholic Church in San Diego county, I attended mass here on a Sunday morning. The atmosphere was very welcoming. The mass was celebrated in English, and the priest gave a very inspiring homily. I was mostly impressed by the beauty of the church and the warmth of the parish community. I recommend attending mass at this Church... Just such a beautiful and welcoming church to worship in!
