There is a barrel vault ceiling, supported by large pillars. In the center of the center section of pews is a space heater, whose pipe extends up several feet to the roof. Two light fixtures that look like inverted mushrooms hang on long chains from the ceiling. The altar rail is dark with white posts. The door to the sacristy on the left has its curtains pulled back, but the curtains are in place on the right. The altar is covered with a dark cloth with light fringe and has IHS painted? carved? on the front face. The tabernacle has a round dome surmounted with a cross. A statue of Jesus? is on a table on the right. A large painting of St. Francis Xavier? is on the wall, surrounded by wooden pillars. A dove is mounted above the painting. There are carpet runners between the sections of pews. There is a crucifix on one of the pillars on the left.
