Sacred Heart Catholic Church was a mission parish of St. Michael's in Olympia. It was founded and staffed by Benedictine Monks of St. Martin's, who came to the area in the mid-1890s. Designed by local carpenter, George Raymond, and built under the direction of Father Fabian Sexton, O.S.B. of St. Martin's in the spring of 1923, the church is on land donated by nearby residents, Anton and Julia Best. After a new church was built in in the late 1960s, the old church was named Fabian Hall in honor of Father Fabian Sexton of Saint Martin's.Made/Created
