Welcome,

St. Francis Liberal Catholic Chapel was founded in 1969 by then Father Dean Bekken. It began as a small parish in a refurbished home on Cerro Gordo Avenue in the Golden Hills area of San Diego. The first service was Midnight Mass on December 24, 1969. It has remained in the same location and is now the Cathedral Chapel of a new denomination, the Universal Catholic Church. At present the plant encompasses the Chapel, the parsonage, and the titular Headquarters of the Universal Catholic Church, its parent denomination.

We exist to serve your spiritual needs. If we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The Holy Eucharist is celebrated on Sunday mornings at 11:00 AM.

The Most Rev. Robert Winzens, Pastor and Bishop of California

The Rt. Rev. Charles Gentzsch
