About

The larger, rosy-red church can easily be seen from anywhere in the Inner Sunset and a MUNI streetcar has a line that travels along Judah Street in front of the Church. Every year since 1908, the parishioners of St. Anne's hold a novena honoring their patron saint hosted by redemptorists, in which they have a procession around the neighborhood, commencing in the vestibule of the church. [2]

In addition to English, the church celebrates mass in Cantonese and formerly Arabic. [3] [4]

History

The church was founded in 1904. The first church, a small wood-frame structure, was built in 1905 on land donated by a Mrs. Jane Callahan. The church, which then seated up to 450 people, was toppled in the 1906 earthquake. [5] The parish school, St. Anne School, opened in 1920.

Reconstruction for a new church building began in 1930 and was completed two years later in 1932. It was dedicated by Archbishop John J. Mitty. [6] The reconstruction increased the church's seating capacity to 750.

The church is notable for its Romanesque Revival architecture, massive dome, uneven twin towers, great rose windows, and the frieze sculpture that adorns the front facade entrance. [7] The sculpture, created by Mission San Jose Sister Justina Niemierski, depicts a "scriptural account of the whole of salvation history."
