President’s July 2026 Message
|
As we move into summer the Men’s Ministry continues to be busy supporting numerous events in our parish community. These included the Corpus Christi and the June Our Lady of Fatima Rosary processions, the Family of Faith BBQ and several members supported the CRMSJ gala event and the parish cleanup on June 27.
|
For our July meeting we are doing a BBQ and games at the St. Joseph Workshop (Carriage House). Since the men are doing the BBQ spouses/partners are also invited along with the young adult group. We will have several fun games including ladder ball, plastic axe throwing, corn hole and pickle ball.
|
We will also welcome our new associate pastor, Fr. Garrett McGowan at this event so you don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to enjoy some good BBQ, cold beer and fellowship.

CRMSJ Founder's Gala 2026
|
|
|
|
The Committee for Restoration of the Mission San Jose (CRMSJ) thanks Parishioners who sponsored or attended our Meet Me at the Mission Founder’s Gala. The event SOLD OUT, and we raised over $60K, or about one-third of the amount needed to restore the exterior of the Mission Church!! Those in attendance enjoyed an evening of heritage, hospitality, and generosity along with a delicious meal by Saki’s Spin-A-Yarn and wine by Mission Peak Vineyards. Mayor Raj Salwan recognized CRMSJ for our “Dedicated Efforts to Preserve and Restore Historic Mission San Jose.” And the Supervisors of all five Districts of Alameda County united in a joint Proclamation recognizing the 229th Anniversary of Mission San Jose and the “ongoing preservation efforts led by Committee for Restoration of the Mission San Jose.”

Thank you once again to all who came, and my deepest gratitude to the ones who worked so hard to help put on this wonderful event. Men’s Ministry members Skip Phair, Jerome Hubacek, and Tom Leen played key leadership roles with their CRMSJ hats on, and Ron Brazil and Mike Gaffey were a huge help as well. Additional photos HERE.
