The current church was constructed between 1907 and 1910 in the Baroque style to replace the original structure as a memorial to Newman.
It was designed by the architect Edward Doran Webb.
It is familiarly called the Little Rome in Birmingham.

Prior to a final determination regarding the beatification of Newman, the Holy See gave instructions that his remains were to be transferred from the Oratorian cemetery in the West Midlands to the Oratory Church.
A marble tomb was constructed to receive them, but not installed in the church.
When the church and civil authorities opened the grave in October 2008, they found no human remains.

The Grade II* listed church continues to serve the Congregation of the Oratory there.
Elsewhere in England, there are also communities of the Congregation at the Brompton Oratory in London and the Oxford Oratory.

In February 2012, the church suffered the theft of a large metal cross from its roof.
The loss was valued at £30,000.
