Work continued, and the church building was officially dedicated on September 29, 1979

Some features of the church building include:

• The Church is built in the shape of an equilateral cross. The main entrance is at the foot of the cross, with the main altar at the top which occupies the center of the elevated Sanctuary.  The two wings of the cross contain pews seating about 400 worshipers.

• The permanent altar is constructed of white oak, weighs 800 pounds and cost $10,000 . It contains relics of St Stephen, the first martyr, and a bone fragment of St. Elizabeth Seton.

• Above the altar, a crucifix replaced the plain pine cross in 2004.  The Corpus Christi, Body of Christ, was hand-carved in Linden wood at the Demeti Art Studio in northern Italy. It is dedicated to the memory of Deacon Bart Mauceri.

• The Stations of the Cross are made of cedar shakes, and the original porcelain stations from Regan Road. A next-door neighbor, artist Adeline Anderson, dedicated eight years of her talents to paint the present Stations, and the art tapestries.

• Robert Basset made the tabernacle and Fred Schreiber constructed the baptistery.

Frances Medynski remained pastor of St. Elizabeth Seton until his retirement in 1996.

On August 2, 1996, Most Reverend Edward M. Egan, 3d  Bishop of Bridgeport, officiated at the installation ceremonies for Father Joseph Prince, the newly appointed Pastor. (On May 11, 2000, Bishop Egan was appointed Archbishop of New York, with subsequent elevation to the College of Cardinals on January 21, 2001. He was succeeded by Bishop William E. Lori, 4th Bishop of Bridgeport on January 23, 2001).
