About This Cause

Today, Santa Clara County is identified as Silicon Valley—a world-renowned center of computer technology. Over the years, orchards have given way to industrial parks and crops of “dot-coms” have replaced the fruit. As Northern California’s most populous county, our valley is filled with the opportunity and challenges of economic, cultural and ethnic diversity. We are the Diocese of San Jose, the Catholic Church in Santa Clara County. We are a community rooted in Baptism—hearing and keeping God’s word and recognizing our relationship to one another as children of God. We welcome and encourage all to join us in our community and in making a difference by proclaiming and building up God’s coming kingdom.
