St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Ipswich, Roman Catholic church in Woodend, Ipswich, Australia

St Mary's Church stands tall with twin spires and features a rectangular nave constructed from Helidon sandstone on Elizabeth Street in Ipswich, Queensland.

Archbishop John Bede Polding laid the foundation stone in 1858, leading to the first church building designed by William Holloway Chambers and constructed by John Petrie.

The church complex includes a presbytery designed by Andrea Stombuco in 1876, displaying Neo-Classical architecture with stone construction and Portland cement plastering.

The church maintains an organ built by B.B. Whitehouse & Co. in 1915, which underwent restorations between 1987 and 1996 by W.J. Simon Pierce.

At its completion in 1904, this Gothic Revival structure ranked as Queensland's largest Catholic church, incorporating materials from the previous building in its annexe.
