The church was moved to a new location one block north of U.S. Highway 12 and one block east of the courthouse. In 1948 expansion was again required. The new building is the one still in practice today. It gave parishioners a larger worship center, a choir loft, and one of the more important improvements—the inclusion of a basement. Prior to the new building, records indicate that social gatherings were held at the gymnasium of Hettinger High School. According to historical records, the cornerstone of the new church was laid by Bishop Vincent Ryan of Bismarck in the fall of 1948.

The current building has endured many renovations from the mid 1980s to the late 1990s. •A Series of Firsts John Joseph Tanous was the first baby to be baptized in the Catholic church on July 16, 1916.
