History:
The complete restoration of Mission San José has been the work of many groups. The Catholic Church, the San Antonio Conservation Society, the City, County, State and the U.S. Government have helped to rebuild it into the wonderful site we visit today.
San José is the only one of the missions that has been fully restored. It has an active parish church run by Franciscan priests, the same religious order that founded it.
