Why San Francisco?

San Francisco is an inspiring place to contemplate, explore and interpret to the church the needs, concerns, and hopes of the world. For thousands of years San Francisco has seen cultural changes from the Ohlone Indians to immigrants from around the world that have made this place their home. This city founded by Franciscan Missionaries and named for St. Francis of Assisi has a history that at times has beautifully honored and at others times painfully ignored its patron saints vision and values.The United Nations' Charter was written and signed here and this city is known for its diverse population and communal commitments to peace, justice, and care for the environment. Yet San Francisco is believed to have the highest number of homeless inhabitants per capita of any major city in the United States, violent and property crime are higher than the national average and like much of the globe the gap between the haves and the have nots continues to grow.
