St. Francis Church was built in 1928. The exterior wall of the church is white, with oval windows and a bell tower. There is a monument in front of the church to commemorate the local victory over pirates in 1910.
There was originally a silver bone box in the church, which has been moved in since 1978. The box contained the holy bracelet of St. Francis's hand, which has now been sent to the St. Joseph Seminary for collection. St. Francis followed missionaries to this place more than 400 years ago and died on a nearby island in 1552. In addition, the holy bracelets that originally existed in the church and contained 59 Japanese and 14 Vietnamese deceased in the 1835 Ruins of St. Paul's Church were moved to the Catholic Art Museum behind the Ruins of St. Paul's.

Although it is just an ordinary church, it has become a place of worship for many movie fans because it showed its face in the last episode of the Korean drama "Palace". After eating Andrew’s egg tarts, and then walking slowly on October 5th Street, you will naturally stroll here!
