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

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.
