St Anne's Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church in Glasgow, Scotland, in the Archdiocese of Glasgow. The parish church, situated on Whitevale Street in the Dennistoun area, is a category A listed building.[1]
History[]
The parish was established in 1899 to serve Catholics in Glasgow's East End. The first church was built on David Street in the Gallowgate area, and a parochial school added. Eventually, the parish outgrew both church and school, and so on the advice of Archbishop , the school was expanded into the church. The parish acquired land from the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul which they had used for a children's refuge and hostel, and the new church was constructed there in 1933.[3]
The architect was Jack Coia, who designed the church in a mixture of Romanesque and Byzantine Revival styles.[4] Coia would design around 30 buildings for the Catholic Church.
The church takes its cruciform shape from a series of semi-circular reinforced concrete portals converging on a central apex. Archbishop Mario Conti described St Anne's as the "Jewel of the Archdiocese".[5]
Parish[]
The church has four Sunday Masses they are at 5:00pm on Saturday and 10:00am, 11:30am and 6:00pm on Sunday. There are also weekday Masses at 10:00am.[6]
