St Francis Xavier Church, Goodna, Heritage-listed Catholic church in Goodna, Australia

St Francis Xavier Church is a cruciform-plan Gothic Revival church of sandstone with a steep gabled roof clad in corrugated galvanised iron. A small gabled entrance porch with black-and-white tiled floor stands at the western end, while the eastern end has an extended sanctuary and twin brick sacristies. Pointed-arch windows hold stained and coloured glass memorials, and a timber-framed northern porch gives access from the carpark.

The foundation stone of St Patrick's was laid on 15 August 1880 by Bishop James Quinn, and the church opened on 1 May 1881. It became a separate parish in 1892 with Fr Thomas Hayes as first priest. In the 1920s the name changed to St Francis Xavier, apparently to avoid confusion with the many churches called St Patrick's.

The church was renamed St Francis Xavier in the 1920s, apparently because so many Queensland churches were already called St Patrick's. Inside, the Stations of the Cross paintings, statues and stained glass windows are memorials donated by parishioners, among them windows honouring schoolteacher John Carroll and Denis Gorman.

St Francis Xavier Church stands at 6 Church Street, Goodna, with its early entrance gates still at the street boundary in front of the building. A timber-framed northern porch gives access from the carpark to the centre of the nave. The church is set among mature trees, most notably tall hoop pines to the north, east and west.

Local people helped build the church by carrying stones from a nearby quarry to the construction site. This direct involvement shows how much the project mattered to the community at that time.
