Saint Maria Goretti Parish is a territorial parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose in California. The parish was formed in July 1961 [1] from orchards off Senter Road near Capitol Expressway.

Joseph McGucken, Archbishop of San Francisco, to serve Catholics of San Jose. The parish is named for St Maria Goretti an Italian virgin martyr saint of the 19th and early 20th century.
