While looking at this stone church, one could almost make oneself believe they were in the presence of a medieval building.

This church is equally traditional both inside and out, with the Tridentine Latin Mass being offered here. All Masses are presented in Latin in the manner common to Roman Catholic Churches of yore, that is prior to 1962. In addition, conservative and traditional attire are expected of all members of the congregation upon entering.

The long, narrow sanctuary of the church is constructed entirely of native stone and masonry, with buttressed walls, Gothic arched windows, and a small bell tower above.

The church was built in 1890, just one year after the great Spokane fire, by the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane as an episcopal church and named St. David's. It was later sold to this Roman Catholic congregation.

The above is from the Timeline of the history of the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane.

Sunday Mass: 8:30 am and 10:30 am
Daily Mass: 8:30 am

1890 — The original St. David’s Episcopal Church was completed, built of native rock at what is now the corner of Garland and Lidgerwood. At that time, St. David’s was a mission church located far from the city, deep in the forest at the northern end of Spokane. There were 23 communicants led by The Rev. Walter Hughson, our first vicar. During the 69 years that St. David’s was a mission church we were served by 24 vicars.
