Welcome to St. Joseph Basilica in Alameda, California.
This parish community is over 135 years old, and still going strong.
Our mission at St. Joseph is to LEARN TO LIVE AS JESUS TEACHES. This is an exciting endeavor, a life-long endeavor, one that can only be accomplished while journeying with others in the community. We hope that you find what you are looking for on our new website, and that you come to see that there is a place for you here in our parish community, even if you are only passing through.
But if you are here to stay, know that this community welcomes you. We are a family that gathers together in many ways to share our love for God. We worship Him with beauty, reverence, and joy, and we serve others with dignity and grace, just as Jesus taught us.
Here at St. Joseph Basilica, our purpose is to learn to live as Jesus teaches, so that we can share Him with others in our lives. We are happy that you are here to join us.
God Bless,
Fr. Mario Rizzo
