The Diocese purchased four lots on Washington Street and construction of the church started. Archbishop William D. O'Brien, Director of the Extension Society, had received a $30, 000 donation for a new church provided it was named Saint Anne.

Mission Statement
read moreGod has called us to be Christian witnesses by the precious gift of our Catholic faith through Baptism. Just as Saint Anne had a role in God's plan so do each of us. We are called to faithfully teach and live the message of Jesus. We listen to God's word, grow in our understanding of it and respond to it through outreach and service in our own parish as well as the wider community. We exercise our responsibility to develop and see the gifts God has given us for the common good and to insure that our Eucharistic celebrations are truly joyful and meaningful.
