The plaque inside the steeple reads, in part: "For decades, St. Francis Xavier stood as the only catholic parish in Southwest Florida. Mission priests arrived as early as 1878, but it was Father William J. Tyrell, S.J., who built the parish's first church in 1910. Its renovated steeple stands here today."
