St Genevieve Parish in Twisp, Washington, is a parish within the Diocese of Spokane and is one of only four parishes in the United States named after the French saint, Genevieve of Paris (ca 422-500 AD), whose deep faith reportedly helped save her city from Attila the Hun in 451. The name for the parish church was the choice of parishioner Sophie Therriault Peters, a French Canadian woman who donated the land on which the structure was built. St. Genevieve was the name of her family’s home parish. St. Genevieve history.
