Our History
Our Lady of Grace Parish was formed on July 1, 2013, by the merger of St. Agnes-Sanford, St. Anne-Edenville, and St. Philip Neri-Coleman. St. Agnes was founded in 1895, with its first Mass in 1889, and became a parish in 1966. St. Philip Neri was established in 1896 as a mission church and became a parish in 1956. St. Anne in Edenville was established as a mission parish of St. Philip Neri and later became its own parish. The three parishes merged to form Our Lady of Grace Parish, with worship sites in Edenville and Sanford.
