Architecture
The mission church is a simplified, vernacular example of Gothic revival architecture constructed of bricks made from native clay. The most exceptional feature of the interior are the 58 murals painted by Brother Joseph Carignano, an untrained artist who worked as a cook in the mission.[5] The murals include depictions of Christian imagery mixed with representations of the Salish belief system.[6] The church is Script error: No such module "convert". in plan and its belfry is nearly Script error: No such module "convert". high.[3]
