Holy Rosary Church (Tacoma, Washington)

The parish was established in 1891 by Bishop Egidius Junger when he invited Benedictine monks from St. John's Abbey in Minnesota to serve Tacoma's German-speaking population.

[3] In 2018, the church building sustained water damage and sheetrock from the ceiling fell onto the choir loft and back pews.

The building was deemed unsafe and masses were moved into the parish school auditorium.

[5] As the future of the parish was deemed unviable, Archbishop Paul D. Etienne ordered all services and ministries of the parish to cease at the end of August 2020.

[8] On May 1, 2024 the Vatican declared Archbishop's Sartain's orders to demolish the historic Church null and void, paving the way for the Church to be restored [9]
