The Shrine of Saint Joseph the Patriarch located in the town proper is a popular Catholic pilgrimage site.
It was once built with cogon and bamboo by Augustinian friars around 1788.
The present structure was built on 1812 under the supervision of a botanist Fr.
Manuel Blanco.
It has single-aisled interior which offers an unobstructed view of the large main altar.
The altar is massive, with six rounded columns encircling the image of Saint Joseph.
Outside a multi-tiered belfry stands which was built in the latter part of the 19th century; a bridge offers passage to the church over the Malaquing Tubig River.

San Jose is also home to the Oblates of Saint Joseph Mission and its Minor Seminary, founded by the Saint Joseph Marello.
The Oblates were the first Italian congregation to send missionaries to the Philippines.
San Jose became their first foreign mission, and is the center of the Vicariate X of the Archdiocese of Lipa.

San Jose celebrates Sinuam Festival every 25th day of April to commemorate its founding anniversary and to thank its patron for the good performance of the main business in the town which is Poultry.
