The St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Parish began as a mission of St. Mary’s Cathedral. Services were held in the St. Joseph’s Orphanage until a church was built in the St. James area of Winnipeg. Land on Hampton Street was purchased in August 1917 and the church building was consecrated in December 1917. In the 1920s, a school for some 85 students was held on the ground floor. It operated until 1971. The church celebrates its centenary in 2017.
