Parish History & Heritage
St. Anne's roots go back to 1954, when the parish opened St. Anne Catholic School with 184 students in grades 1-4 — only the second Catholic grade school in Las Vegas at the time. The Marycrest Estates property next to the school was purchased in 1961; the church was built in 1962 and dedicated by 1963, designed by Elmo Bruner with a mosaic by Edith Piczek. Through the decades the parish and school have grown together, becoming, by its pastor's description, 'the oldest parochial school in Las Vegas' after other valley schools closed.
