This Gothic church was built by the French priest Father P. Fabre in 1849. It was dedicated to St. Francis Xavier who was one of the earliest Catholic missionaries active in Southeast Asia. At this site originally stood an old Portuguese mission. The church is essentially identical to its original construction, except for the portico which was added in 1963. The interior though, is little changed except for the floor which was cemented in 1920.
