Be a Part of Our History!
What is CRMSJ?
In 1868, a massive earthquake destroyed the Mission church and a portion of the padres' living quarters. A wooden church was built on the original site and stood for 100 years. Then in 1975, the Committee for Restoration of the Mission San Jose, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-sectarian organization, was incorporated by a group of concerned citizens. CRMSJ is dedicated to research, financing and restoration of the Old Mission San Jose.
