The Church of St. Stephen is a historic Roman Catholic church building in St. Stephen, Minnesota, United States. It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saint Cloud. The church was constructed in 1903 in a rural community settled by Slovene immigrants. An 1890 rectory stands behind the church.[2] Both buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for their state-level significance in the themes of architecture, exploration/settlement, and religion.[3] The property was nominated for reflecting the settlement of rural Stearns County by Catholic immigrant groups clustered in small, ethnic hamlets dominated by a central church.[2]
