St. Boniface Church, Convent and Rectory, Religious complex in Uniontown, Washington.
St. Boniface Church is a brick church in Uniontown, Washington, designed by Herman Preusse and Julius Zittel in the Romanesque style, with two towers flanking the façade and a front gable topped by a seven-foot statue of the Blessed Mother. Inside are the original stained-glass windows, altar rails, five altars and numerous frescos.
The building was constructed in 1905 and consecrated in 1910, making it the first consecrated Catholic church in Washington State. This founding marked a significant milestone for the state's Catholic community at that time.
The church preserves elements from before the Second Vatican Council, including altar rails and multiple altars that continue to shape the community's religious life. Visitors can see the detailed frescoes that represent Catholic traditions and give the sacred space its distinctive character.
The building shares resources and clergy with St. Gall Church in Colton, operating as a combined parish serving the regional Catholic community. Visitors should check opening times beforehand since the church functions as an active place of worship.
The church was designed by Herman Preusse and Julius Zittel and built of brick in the Romanesque style, not Romanesque Revival. Its front gable carries a seven-foot statue of the Blessed Mother, and the interior keeps its pre-Vatican II fittings, with only an altar for the Novus Ordo added.
