 Saint Joseph Parish
Old Mission San Jose
Founded 1797
We Welcome You to Join Us in Our Mission.
History
At the Ohlone Indian village of Oroysom, Padre Fermin Francisco de Lasuen founded this fourteenth of twenty-one Franciscan missions June 11, 1797. Taught by Padre Narciso Duran, the Ohlone orchestra and choir became famous. By 1830 almost 2,000 Indians were living at the mission. The 1868 earthquake destroyed the adobe church and most other mission buildings. The church was rebuilt in 1985. Further details about our history can be found here and additional photographs here.

 Choose wisely
I know nothing of hatred, intolerance, racism, sexism, bigotry, indoctrination, homophobia and prejudice.
I don't yet understand things like love, compassion, integrity, tolerance, human decency and truth.
For the first and most important formative years of my life all I will know is what you teach me.
Choose wisely.
Please join us at
Mass online as we celebrate this holy season and find ways we can prepare ourselves through Jesus's love. |
