2026 Mission Founder’s Gala

Men’s Ministry members participate in many additional causes. A few of us are members of the Committee for Restoration of the Mission San Jose (CRMSJ). It is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization dedicated to the authentic, non-sectarian restoration of Old Mission San Jose. I cordially invite you to our June 13, 2026 Founder’s Gala celebrating over 50 years of restoration and preservation projects for the Mission. Click on the HERE for tickets, sponsorship opportunities, and more information.

Last year, the proceeds from this event helped repair the Mission Museum adobe exterior walls, and we also launched the initiative to restore the Mater Dolorosa (Mother of Sorrows) painting now hanging in the Mission Church. For 2026, we are raising funds to restore the exterior of the Mission Church, Fremont’s dominant attraction and the pride of the Mission San Jose community. It is both a California Historic Landmark and a National Registered Historic Place. Our June 13th Gala is a vital component of our ongoing efforts to raise the funds necessary to preserve and revitalize this cherished landmark.

So, set aside the date; and talk with the rest of your Men’s Ministry brothers about buying a table!
