For Duhig, who was to become renowned as a prolific builder of churches and schools, St Brigid's was an auspicious beginning.

[1] It is a brick fortress-like building, rectangular, with the chancel, entrance porch and its flanking buttresses semi-octagonal in shape.

LJ Harvey's life size statue of St Brigid above the entrance porch, holds a model of the completed church.

Notable features include the timber ceiling, light fittings, gallery, organ, altars and stained glass.

[7] St Brigid's Church was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.

St Brigid's Church is significant as a characteristic part of the inner Brisbane skyline, visible from all directions.

It is an outstanding example, both internally and externally, of the architecture of Robin Dods, a recognised member of the contemporary Arts and Crafts movement in Europe and the United States of America.

St Brigid's Church is significant as a self-conscious townscape composition designed to place an acropolis-like skyline on the axis of George Street and for the impressive quality of the interior which is derived from the carefully considered combination of materials, light and scale.
