OUR PARISH
Holy Family Parish
Founded in 1905, Holy Family Parish originally began as a mission serving the Italian community in downtown San Jose among local fruit and nut orchards. Over the past century, it has grown from its agricultural roots into a vibrant parish serving a diverse community of over 2,400 families in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Beyond its rich spiritual history, the parish is deeply connected with our school, a place where students grow academically and actively connect with their faith every day.
