St. Anne's Church & Shrine
818 Middle St.
Fall River, MA. 01518


 The lower church was built in 1894-1895. For seven years the construction was suspended to collect sufficient funds. Then the upper church was built from 1902 to 1906. But the focus of pilgrims remained on the lower church.  The upper church, as a shrine, has chapels all around the sanctuary and a passageway, called an "ambulatory" that enables you to walk around. This form of architecture is often found in the cathedrals of Europe. Web site

Sixteen Church St.
Fiskdale, MA. 01518

The Memorial Gardens of Saint Anne Shrine are an important part of the Shrine. Small sections of the grounds are available for "adoption" (through planting and tending) in memory of a loved one.
