God is in the city
(Psalm 46: 6)
Located in the heart of the Mission, the Verbum Dei Urban Spirituality Center makes prayer and spiritual resources accessible in the busyness of every day life, for individuals, groups, students, professionals, parents, and people of all ages and ethnicities. One learns to discover God present in the noise
and on-going activity.
There is a river whose streams bring joy to God’s city
(Psalm 46:5)
The VD urban Spirituality Center resides in a building constructed in 1914. It was originally built as an Evangelical Church. In 1948, Russian Orthodox nuns purchased it as their convent. When they were no longer able to maintain the building, they were overjoyed when a group of young missionaries were looking for a home. After purchasing the property in 2001, immediate renovations began. Since then, work on the property has continued, however, due to the age of the house there is a need for major improvements in the infrastructure of the house including plumbing, electrical upgrading and the facade.
Will you help us keep this historical and prayerful oasis in the middle of San Francisco alive?

As the only Verbum Dei community outside of California, we are looking to purchase a property that will serve as our House of Prayer and apostolic center. We dream that this sacred space will be a place where many can find their home and encounter the God of tenderness, love and peace.
