St Francis Xavier Catholic Parish: A Historic Pillar of Faith in Goodna

Welcome to St Francis Xavier Catholic Parish, a vibrant and deeply historical spiritual home located at 6 Church Street in Goodna, Queensland. Serving the local community and the wider Ipswich region, our parish blends a rich heritage with a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all who walk through our doors.

A Legacy of Faith

Our parish has a proud and enduring history. The beautiful heritage-listed church, originally known as St Patrick’s Church, was designed by renowned architect Andrea Giovanni Stombuco and built in 1881. For well over a century, this sacred space has stood as a central gathering place for worship, sacraments, and community life.

Community and Education

St Francis Xavier is more than just a historic building; it is a growing, dynamic family of faith. Our parish is closely connected with St Francis Xavier Catholic Primary School in Goodna and St Ann’s School in Redbank Plains. Together, we foster a strong foundation of Catholic education, nurturing the spiritual and academic growth of the youth in our rapidly expanding community.

Parish Leadership

St Francis Xavier Parish is blessed to be ministered by the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans).
