Originally St Stephens Church, the chapel was designed by A W Pugin on the English Gothic Revival style and was built between 1849 and 1850 by Alexander Goold and Andrew Petrie and is also known as Pugin Chapel. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane was created in 1859 and St Stephens church became a cathedral. With the catholic population of Brisbane increasing a foundation stone for a new cathedral (the existing St Stephens cathedral) was laid by the the bishop James Quinn on the 26th December 1863. The new cathedral took 11 years to build and during its construction and to accomodate the growing number of catholics, a wooden annexe was built on the northern wall and extra doorways  were cut into the stone walls of the church. Also, due to the crumbling of its sandstone belfry, that was dismantled and replaced with a wooden one in 1888.
After the consecration of the new cathedral in 1874, the old church was used as a school until about 1892. Since that time the chapel had various uses and its demolition contemplated on several occasions until it was placed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. It was restored by 1999 based on historical evidence
On 5 February 1999, the church was re-dedicated as St Stephen's Chapel by Archbishop John Bathersby. It lays claim to being the oldest existing church in Queensland
