Our Parish History


About Us

St.Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Church is located in a quiet residential neighborhood straddling West San Jose and Campbell. The property is dotted with beautiful, mature palm trees. Also on premise is a Our Lady Grotto and a prayer garden surrounded by statues of the Accension Jesus, Legion of Mary and St Joseph with the child Jesus.


This small Catholic parish occupies a large place in the hearts of those who consider it their home. Generous service to others, a strong emphasis on prayer, and the enjoyment of community have been the hallmarks of St.Thomas of Canterbury since its founding in 1967.
