Ravenswood Community Church, Heritage church in Ravenswood, Australia.

Ravenswood Community Church is a rectangular timber building on a cleared rise facing Chapel Street, southeast of town. Its gabled corrugated iron roof covers a nave with an entry porch, narrow windows along both sides, and a curved projection at the rear marking the sanctuary, flanked by a sacristy and a similar extension. The front is clad in chamferboard, while the rear has a single skin with exposed framing.

The church was built in 1871 during the gold rush period by Ross and O'Reilly and opened in October as St Patrick's Catholic Church. It served the rapidly expanding mining community during that era of economic growth.

The building drew support from people of different faiths who came together to fund its construction in the early days. This shared commitment reflects how the church served as a gathering place that mattered to the whole community.

The building has been carefully restored with rebuilt stairs and fresh paint throughout the interior. Today it remains available for community events and gatherings, making it an active place to visit.

The students evacuated from St Patrick's College, The Strand, Townsville, were housed in the boarding school at Ravenswood, not in the church itself; the boarding school and convent closed in 1948. The school building was later moved to Giru, while the convent stood until a storm damaged it and local residents demolished it for its timber.
