Holy Cross Polish National Catholic Church

Holy Cross Polish National Catholic Church was a religious building located at Third and Queen in Pe Ell, Washington, designed in the Gothic Revival style. The structure featured two prominent towers at its front facade alongside traditional ecclesiastical architectural details.

The building was constructed in 1916 to serve Polish lumber workers who had settled in the Pe Ell area. After decades of use, deteriorating structural conditions led to its demolition in 2010.

The church served as a spiritual home for Polish workers and their families who came to Pe Ell seeking employment in the lumber industry. It embodied their religious heritage and community bonds.

The location on Third and Queen streets made it accessible to the community and served as a recognizable landmark. The church was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, acknowledging its local historical importance.

The church held the distinction of being the only Polish National Catholic church in the entire state of Washington. This rare status made it a special gathering place for Polish communities across the region.
