St. Francis Xavier Convent is significant as one of the largest and best-preserved examples of Gothic Revival architecture in Vicksburg. The Sisters of Mercy, for whom the convent was built, have exercised great influence in the state of Mississippi in the areas of education and public health since 1860. Individually listed on the National Register in 1977, it is also a prominent contributing element of the Uptown Vicksburg Historic District.
