Located on the southern edge of Mexicantown near the Ambassador Bridge, Ste. Anne de Detroit is the oldest Catholic parish east of the Mississippi and the second oldest Catholic parish in the United States. Ste Anne was the first structure built in Detroit with construction starting on July 26, 1701 on Ste. Annes Feast Day by the first Detroit settlers led by Antoine Cadillac. The current church is the 8th Ste. Anne's and was built in 1886.
Like most Detroit church's built during the 1880's, Ste. Anne's has a very elaborate interior. The stained glass windows feature several saints. Each stain glass has a plaque which identifies the donator. Famous Detroit names like Beaubian and Vernor are featured.

Ste. Anne has a 5:00 PM Mass on Saturday as well as two masses on Sunday; 8:30 AM & 10:00 AM. The 10:00 AM Mass is in Spanish. Like most historic Catholic churches in Detroit, the Saturday masses are lightly attended. Don't be surprised if Ste. Anne's priest gives you a warm welcome.
