Au tournant du vingtième siècle on retrouvait trois églises dans cette portion de la ville de Bromont appelée antérieurement West Shefford : St-John Church ancienne église anglicane devenue maintenant le centre culturel St-John, West Shefford United Church ancienne église méthodiste maintenant résidence privée et l'Église Saint-François-Xavier. De ces trois églises la seule qui demeure active aujourd'hui est Saint-François-Xavier.

Construite en 1889, son clocher original fut démoli en 1909 et remplacé par le clocher actuel en 1916.
