History Biographical: 

St. Stephen's Anglican Church (Franz, Ont.) was part of the Lake Superior Anglican Parish. In the early years, Franz was part of the Manitouwadge parish.

Services were held in Franz as early as 1915 in the local schoolhouse and private homes. During a visit by the Archbishop in June 1918, plans were begun for the construction of a parsonage and to secure a section of land from the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. Three years later, during another visit from the Archbishop, the need for a mission hall was discussed and a small piece of land was leased from the Algoma Central Railway. 

In 1953 the building's interior was renovated and transformed from two rooms to one long naive, with a small vestry at the back of the altar. 

The last recorded service was held on September 10, 1986 in the private home of Solomon Saunders. The church was dismantled and removed later that year, and its furnishings (pew and font) were moved to Surluga Gold Mines for temporary storage.
