Welcome to Saint Columban Parish. We proclaim the Roman Catholic faith to the cities and towns of McKenna, Rainier, Roy, Tenino, and Yelm and to the communities of Clearwood, McIntosh, Nisqually, and North Yelm in southeast Thurston County and southwest Pierce County in Washington state.

Charities

For assistance please leave your name, phone number, and details of your need to 360-458-1904. Please be patient as our St. Vincent volunteers check voicemails and assist others. 

Our community has grown since its origins at the former St. Margaret Mary Church in McKenna, and our current church in Yelm is named for the Irish-born 6th century missionary to Europe Saint Columbanus. We have also been present in Tenino since 1891 through Saint Peter Mission, named for the apostle and first pope.

Parishioners contribute their time, talent, and treasure to support several ministries, which include the Altar Society, the Daughters of Mary, the Knights of Columbus, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

National Eucharistic Revival

National Eucharistic Revival
Amid the roaring waves of the world, Jesus is present, reminding us that he is more powerful than the storm. He desires to heal, renew, and unify the Church and the world.
The National Eucharistic Revival is the joyful, expectant, grassroots response of the entire Catholic Church in the US to a divine invitation. It culminates in the National Eucharistic Congress, held on July 17-21, 2024.
Join the movement and be a part of something life-changing. Sign up for the Heart of the Revival e-newsletter at eucharisticrevival.org
