Built in 1902 by voluntary labour and financed by local Catholics, this is the oldest Catholic church still functioning in the Australian Capital Territory. As the centre piece of the Saint Francis of Assisi Parish Centre and School, it is a living reminder of the early Irish Catholic community. It became the heart of social and religious life for those of the Tuggeranong Valley, many of whom would travel great distances by horseback for weekly services. The building is a Federation Carpenter Gothic style church, composed of weatherboard walls and a corrugated iron roof and is classified by the National Trust.
