St. Francis Xavier Mission, more commonly known locally as the Cowlitz Mission, is the oldest operating Catholic church in Washington.
The mission was established in December 1838 on the Cowlitz Prairie near Toledo by Father Blanchet. The earlier church buildings all caught fire, so the present building was built of brick. Father Blanchet claimed 640 acres of land which he laid out for the mission including the cemetery. The Native Americans of the 1800’s called the priests “blackrobes.”

The church adjoins a cemetery that is the final resting place for several of our area's pioneers. Near the cemetery, a visual depiction of several events in Biblical history are contained in a totem pole-like structure known as the Catholic Ladder.

A historic marker can be found at the northeast corner of the intersection of Spencer Road and Jackson Highway just outside Toledo. From there, the mission and cemetery are a very short drive up Spencer and found on the left.
