Parish History

St. Anne Church was established in 1919 by Father William Cleary in response to the needs of a growing and multi-ethnic Catholic community in East Moline. Today, nearly 100 years later, St. Anne is still a faith filled community that embraces diversity and has adapted to the changing environment while maintaining its core Catholic values and identity.
