Bishop Garrett laid the cornerstone for the present church in 1910. Plans for the new St. Stephen's church, of English Gothic design, were drawn by church architects of Providence, R.I.
An unusually fine Hook-Hastings tracker-action pipe organ was installed at this time and is still in use, having been rebuilt in 1975 by Robert Sipe.
Opening services in the new church were held on Easter Day of 1911.
