St. Joseph History
The first church building was constructed on land deeded to the diocese by Barrett when the city of Chehalis, now the county seat, was in its infancy. And although archdiocesan records indicate that Bishop Junger established St. John the Evangelist as a parish in 1889, no pastor was assigned until Father Gustave Achtergael was appointed in 1892. He served until 1901. Perhaps as a result, the parish marked its centennial year in 1992.
In 1923, Father Eugene Duffy, who served as pastor from 1922-1926, pleaded with Bishop Edward O’Dea to change the name because the parish’s mail was often “misdirected.” Bishop O’Dea agreed. In a letter dated Feb. 29, 1944, explaining the name change to the diocesan chancellor, Father Duffy said, “Sometimes inquiries for baptisms and marriages intended for me would be sent to other churches,” because a Lutheran and an Episcopalian church in Chehalis were also named St. John.
In 1922, after more than three decades of growth for the city and parish, Father Duffy had started a capital campaign to accommodate the growing parish, and in 1923 he oversaw the construction of a building that became the new home of the school and church at Sixth and McFadden. Although the auditorium of the school was designated a temporary church, it served as the parish liturgical space until the current church at Sixth and Cascade Avenue was dedicated by Bishop Thomas A. Connolly on June 12, 1960.

Light of the World
Jesus, the Light of the World, as we celebrate your birth... may we begin to see the world in the light of understanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in meekness of heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than ourselves in this season of giving. Amen.
