St. Anne is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, located in the small unincorporated community of Monterey in Pulaski County, Indiana. Dedicated to Saint Anne, the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandmother of Jesus Christ, the parish serves Catholic families in and around northern Pulaski County.

According to available diocesan records, the parish traces its founding to 1851, making it one of the older Catholic communities established within the boundaries of what is now the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana. St. Anne today is part of the Fulton-Pulaski Catholic Community, a shared pastorate that links several small parishes in the two counties for pastoral care and administration.[1]

As a rural territorial parish, St. Anne continues to serve a small but committed congregation, maintaining the sacramental and community life typical of small-town Catholic parishes in the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana.

History

Limited published sources document the earliest years of St. Anne Parish in detail, but diocesan and parish records place its founding in 1851, during a period of significant Catholic immigration and settlement across rural Indiana.[2] Like many small parishes founded in this era, St. Anne likely began as a mission served by circuit-riding priests from nearby, more established parishes before growing into a settled congregation with its own resident or shared pastor.

Over the following decades, the parish became part of the broader network of Catholic communities that would eventually form the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana, established in 1944 by division from the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend. In more recent decades, St. Anne has been linked administratively with neighboring parishes in Fulton and Pulaski counties as the Fulton-Pulaski Catholic Community, reflecting broader trends of pastoral collaboration among small rural parishes in the diocese.

No confirmed details regarding the construction date of the current church building, its architect, or major renovations are documented in publicly available sources.
