Abstract
Our Lady of the Woodland Catholic Church in Pierce, Idaho now sits shuttered. No longer do faithful parishioners sit in its pews, instead it rests quietly among the timber surrounding Pierce. Our Lady of the Woodland was a church built by a community, through the organization of a single Priest. Its facade, unlike other catholic churches of its age, is but one clue that this particular church is unique. It stands now as relic of all those faithful who helped to build it, move it, and care for it. Our Lady of the Woodland Catholic Church is not only a house of God, but a fixture in the life stories of many.
