St Brendan's Church

About this church

St. Brendan Catholic Church in San Francisco celebrates a Saturday vigil Mass at 5:00 p.m. and Sunday Masses at 7:30, 9:30, and 11:30 a.m. Weekday Mass is offered Tuesday through Saturday at 8:15. Confession is available Saturdays from 4:00 to 4:45 or by appointment, and the Adoration Chapel is open Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Holy days normally include Mass at 9:15 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. The parish also maintains an emergency line for Anointing of the Sick.

Founded as a small mission in 1929, St. Brendan now reports more than 1,200 families while retaining a close-knit parish identity. Children’s formation follows two-year paths toward First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation; tuition assistance is available so finances do not prevent participation. Volunteers support the liturgy as readers, Communion ministers, greeters, musicians, altar servers, and hospitality hosts. Outreach reaches beyond the parish through visits to people who are sick, juvenile-hall ministry, food assistance, and service to people in poverty. Frequent Mass, scheduled Adoration, sacramental preparation, and practical service create a full Catholic week around the Rockaway Avenue church.
