Saint Rose de Viterbo Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church in Longview, Washington, United States[1] dedicated to Rose of Viterbo. It is a part of Saint Rose Parish inside the Archdiocese of Seattle.[2]
The parish was established in 1927 by Bishop John O'dea[3] to serve the catholic population of the city of Longview, which had been established in 1923. There were four mission churches at Castle Rock, Cathlamet, Kalama, and Woodland, and a new wood-framed church was built for the parish by 1928. This was replaced in 1959 by the current building in stone and glass, which has a steeple 97 feet (30 m) tall.[4]
