Presidio San Antonio de Béxar was a Spanish fort built near the San Antonio River, located in what is now San Antonio, Texas, USA. It was designed for protection of the mission system and civil settlement in central Texas. It also served to secure Spain's claim to the region from French, English and American aggression. It was built by Franciscan priest Antonio de Olivares and the Payaya; and along with the Misión de San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo) and the Acequia Madre de Valero, is the origin of the present city of San Antonio, Texas.EstablishmentFrom the Convent of Querétaro, several expeditions were organized to the region of Texas, an area of great strategic importance to the Spanish crown. With that goal in 1675, an expedition formed by Fray Antonio de Olivares, Fray Francisco Hidalgo, Fray Juan Larios, and Fernando del Bosque was sent to explore and describe the country beyond the borders of Rio Grande, to test the possibilities of new settlements in the area.

The Society donates the use of its hall to charitable organizations such as Any Baby Can. Since 1973, The 100 Club has been dedicated to the support of families of Law Enforcement, Firefighters & EMT in San Antonio and Bexar County who have fallen in the line of duty. With the assistance of the Society, the 100 Club has an annual spaghetti dinner that raises funds for these families.

In 2012, the CCLA used the City Sight Seeing bus to promote the Little Italy San Antonio (L.I.S.A.) project and attract new members. One of the ways we preserve our culture locally is by teaching our children traditional dances. The Little Italian Dancers perform during the Columbus Celebrations in October and other local events.
