==History==
Members of the Society of St Francis Xavier decided at a meeting in 1840 that, as the numbers of Roman Catholics in Liverpool was growing rapidly, a new church was needed. The foundation stone was laid in 1842 and Joseph John Scoles was appointed as architect. Scoles went on to design the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street in London, St Ignatius Church in Preston and was the father of Ignatius Scoles SJ, who designed St Wilfrid's Church also in Preston. The church opened on 4 December 1848.〔 The spire was added in 1883.〔 The church had been designed to hold 1,000 people but this proved to be insufficient for the congregation and in 1888 an additional chapel, the Sodality Chapel which had been designed by Edmund Kirby, was opened.〔 In 1898 the wall dividing the Sodality Chapel from the main part of the church was demolished.
By the time of the Second World War, St Francis Xavier's was the largest Roman Catholic parish in England, containing over 13,000 Catholics.〔 During the war the church was damaged, particularly the roof, and most of the windows were blown out. From the 1960s the church went into decline, partly because of the demolition of housing in the parish. In 1981 there were plans to demolish the nave,〔"Archbishop may be taken to court over church plan", ''The Times'', 7 September 1981〕 but it was saved following a popular campaign. In 2001 the parish was combined with the parishes of St Joseph and St Mary of the Angels and the Sodality Chapel was renamed The Chapel of St Mary of the Angels and St Joseph.〔
