In 1892 the cornerstone of the present church was laid. Four large, composite sets of leaded, stained-glass windows of Gothic Revival characteristics and a number of small, high windows were installed in the sanctuary. Construction was completed in 1893.

Formal dedication of the sanctuary took place the third Sunday of October in 1896.
