Fr. William Abeloe, pastor of St. Joseph Church - Old Mission San Jose from 1977-1982, was a noted historian, author, and driver behind the Mission Church reconstruction. But DID YOU KNOW, he once published his famous margarita recipe in the parish bulletin? In his honor, margaritas will be served at CRMSJ's Founder's Gala reception on June 13th. For tickets and information, see https://crmsjca.org/2026-gala

DID YOU KNOW? On March 31, 1776, exactly 250 years ago today, Juan Bautista de Anza and a small exploration group rode quickly by the Ohlone village of Oroysom in present day Fremont, a site noted by Anza's Expedition as a potential future mission site. They were tasked to build and sustain a military fort to guard the entrance to San Francisco Bay and to establish the first Spanish town in Alta California, the Pueblo of San Jose. Mission San Jose's Patio Garden has a USA Bicentennial marker commemorating the Anza Expedition.

We are proud to share our latest accomplishment to preserve Mission San Jose's history. Forty plus donors contributed to the restoration of this historic painting from the original 1809 adobe church. Attend or sponsor our June 13th fundraiser supporting the ongoing need to preserve Fremont's historic landmark for future generations. https://crmsjca.org/2026-gala

Save June 13th for our Meet Me at the Mission, "Founder's Gala", an evening of food and fun to celebrate the founding of Fremont's own Mission San Jose and raise funds for its exterior restoration.
