St. Paul's Mission was a Jesuit mission church established near the Hudson's Bay Company's Fort Colville, on the bluff overlooking Kettle Falls, Washington on the Columbia River. The building still stands today.

[edit] History

Following Father DeSmet's preaching to the Sxoielpi (Colville) Indians in August, 1845, a small log chapel was built. Two years later the present hand-hewn log church replaced it. Sometime around 1869, St. Paul's Mission was abandoned in favor of a location seven miles north of the present city of Colville, Washington. Damaged by fire in 1910, the present structure was restored in 1939-40. [1]
