Museum Exterior Repair Progress – Great News!  Thanks to the generous donors who attended the 228th Mission Anniversary fundraising dinner with Bishop Barber on June 14 and to those who participated in the raffle, the parish raised over $65,000 towards the cost of repairing the museum building’s exterior walls.  The parish now has enough funds to repair all four sides of the building this summer.  Completing all four sides together will save $50,000 compared to splitting the work between this year and next year as originally planned.  In addition to parish fundraising, the balance of the $234,000 cost of the repairs is supported by grants from the Committee for the Restoration of Mission San Jose, the Fremont Bank Foundation, and The Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation. The damaged adobe and original mud plaster covering the side of the museum facing Mission Blvd has been repaired.  Work has moved to the south wall of the building to replace the damaged wood framed windows and repair the adobe and mud plaster.  The walls will be painted when repairs to all four sides have been completed.
