st. anne church
Serving East Moline and the surrounding area since 1919.
A destination for faith~
St. Anne is a faith filled community that embraces diversity and has adapted to the changing environment while maintaining its core Catholic values and identity. By remembering those who have come before us, we honor the legacy of the diversity of our founders who, molded by God’s blessings and the holy priests He empowered, joined together to establish our church.

Our Path to Our Lady of Grace
In Our “Sites”
Our Lady of Grace on the Web!
As part of the merger process, Our Lady of Grace Parish will have a unified website and a Facebook page. The website is currently being designed by Chris Mandle from Mandle Designs, with final layouts and elements to be discussed by the Parish Transition Team. This will be accessible within the next few weeks and will be announced in the bulletin as well.
Our new Facebook page is live NOW! You can find us by searching for “Our Lady of Grace Catholic Parish” via Facebook, the key word being “Parish” in order to find our specific page. Facebook will be used to promote and communicate primarily about church activities and calendar events. Like and follow the page to stay up-to-date between Sunday bulletins.
Our Path to Our Lady of Grace” will provide weekly updates and new information regarding the merger of St. John’s, St. Anne’s and St. Mary’s. As we venture on this new journey together, we ask Our Lady of Grace to pray for us!
