History of the Parish
St. Anne was established on November 16, 1936, when Bishop Byrne chose Father Elias Holub to found a new parish on Calder Avenue and Eleventh Street during the Amelia Oil Field boom. Father Holub wanted the church built in the Mission San José style of San Antonio, and Leo Dielmann was engaged to design it. The church was enlarged in 1956, the school in 1961, and Holub Hall parish hall was built in the founding pastor's honor.
