Part of the Diocese of Brownsville
The mission falls under the Diocese of Brownsville, which covers the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. As a mission church rather than an independent parish, St. Anne does not have a separate diocesan identity in the same way a parish does — it is listed in the diocesan Parish Finder under St. Joseph the Worker, San Carlos. The diocese provides the canonical framework and bishop (most recently Daniel E. Flores) under which the mission operates, while local pastoral care remains in the hands of Father Razo and the San Carlos staff.
