HISTORY |
|
St. Anne’s is located in the neighborhood of Eastwood
Heights, also known locally as “Dogpatch.” The area was originally tended to
by the Benedictine Fathers of St. Leander’s Parish. Then in 1955, a Baptist
chapel that was located on the Pueblo Air Force Base was purchased and moved to
the eastside neighborhood. The newly moved mission was named St. Francis Xavier
Cabrini. Soon the mission benefited from a donation from the Catholic Extension
Society. The anonymous donor gave $10,000 towards the establishment and
improvement of the mission and renamed it in honor of St. Anne. Bishop Joseph
Willging dedicated the church on July 29, 1956.
St. Anne’s was granted status as a parish in 1961, and
the priests who served the modest parish lived in a trailer and/or the back room
of the church until a proper rectory was built in 1962.
