Quick Facts

Quick Facts:

Life in the City

San Jose is the largest city in the Bay Area and home to Cathedral Basilica of St. Joseph, the oldest parish in California.  Just a short drive to the beach, mountains, or wine country, our community in San Jose is always exploring the beauty of NorCal.  From the Summer Jazz Fest to Christmas in the Park, there is so much in the city for us to enjoy.

San Jose

With an average of 300 days of sunshine, it’s no wonder that San Jose has been named as the happiest, healthiest, and smartest city in America.  Where Silicon Valley meets Spanish history, San Jose is home to many technology museums, art galleries, and beautiful gardens.  Our love for organic food and the latest food trends provides our community with a multitude of culinary experiences, in addition to our wonderful community dinner nights.  The Santa Clara Valley is also California’s oldest wine growing region, long before Napa made it on the map. We are thankful to be able to share our wonderful city with the nearby communities of Sacramento and Oakland.
