Why St. Joske’s still rings in downtown SA

The bells of St. Joseph’s Church echo through downtown San Antonio every day, a living reminder of how a determined community can stand up to big business. Decades ago, parishioners refused to let Joske’s department store bulldoze their beloved church—even when the archbishop was ready to sell. Their passionate stand saved this Gothic Revival gem, now wedged between the Shops at Rivercenter. Step inside during its open hours and you’ll find stunning stained glass, soaring ceilings, and a piece of San Antonio’s history that nearly vanished. How do you feel about preserving old landmarks in the face of urban growth? #Religion #SanAntonio #StJosephsChurch
