All Saints is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama, located in Anniston, in Calhoun County. The parish serves Catholics within its assigned territory in and around Anniston under the pastoral care of diocesan clergy.

Dedicated under the title of All Saints, honoring the communion of saints celebrated collectively in the Solemnity of All Saints on November 1, the parish reflects a long tradition within the Catholic Church of naming churches in honor of the whole company of the redeemed rather than a single patron.

No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though the presence of the older Sacred Heart of Jesus parish in Anniston suggests All Saints developed to serve the growth of the Catholic community in the city over the course of the twentieth century.
