DIOCESE OF SAN JOSE

 The Diocese of San José in California serves all of Santa Clara County, forming missionary disciples and serving those in need across Silicon Valley. Established in 1981, the Diocese is centered at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Joseph in downtown San José. From the establishment of Mission Santa Clara de Asís (1777) in the “Valley of the Heart’s Delight” to today’s Silicon Valley, our local Church accompanies a dynamic, diverse community across Santa Clara County amid the opportunities and challenges of rapid growth and innovation. We worship in 15 languages each Sunday and are advancing our pastoral plan for spiritual renewal—“Renewed in Christ, Together in Mission”—as we journey toward our 50th anniversary in 2031. 

 The Diocese of San Jose knows what an important decision choosing a school is for our families. Families are encouraged to consider the site-specific charisms and programs of emphasis at each of our schools in order to determine which school will be the best fit for your family. We hope to ease the anxiety for families by ensuring that every child in our schools receives an outstanding academic, social and spiritual education. Tuition Assistance is available for families who qualify. 

By joining the Fight for Air Climb, you are helping to make a positive impact in the lives of those affected by lung disease. Participants raise funds to support the mission of the American Lung Association while training to climb the stairs of a skyscraper, stadium, or other landmark building.

The American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease, through research, education and advocacy. Our work is focused on five strategic imperatives: to defeat lung cancer; to improve the air we breathe; to reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families; to eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases; and to monitor and enhance organizational effectiveness.
