St Patricks Church, Fortitude Valley, Catholic church in Fortitude Valley, Australia

St Patrick's Church is a Catholic place of worship in Fortitude Valley featuring Gothic Revival design with walls of local porphyry dressed in sandstone from Murphy's Creek. French stained glass windows filter light throughout the interior, casting colored patterns across the space.

Construction began in 1880 under Bishop James O'Quinn's patronage and was completed in 1882 by builder John Arthur Manis O'Keefe. It replaced an earlier structure on Wickham Street that had become insufficient for the expanding Catholic population.

The parish was dissolved around 1990 and the church is now administered from St Stephen's Cathedral. It draws a large Sunday Mass congregation from across Brisbane and is popular for weddings and baptisms. The 1886 bell, cast in Sheffield by Vicker, Son & Co., was donated by parishioner Thomas Reedy and still survives in a steel frame.

The building is located at 58 Morgan Street and welcomes visitors interested in viewing its architectural features and interior spaces. Regular services take place, so visitors should check timing and dress respectfully when entering during worship.

The tower shown in Stombuco's original design was never built, so the church has stood without one since its consecration on 3 December 1882. The 1886 belfry that once stood on the highest point of the grounds is also gone, but its patent cast-steel bell, made by Vicker, Son & Co. of Sheffield and given by parishioner Thomas Reedy, survives in a steel frame.
