The church was built in 1916 to serve Pe Ell's Polish immigrant community, which had come to the town to work in the local lumber industry. The building had a vernacular Gothic Revival design with two towers at its front corners. It was the last Polish National Catholic church in Washington until its demolition.[2] It was added to the National Register in 1987.

Its condition deteriorated and the building was demolished in 2010.[3]
