St. Anne is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Saginaw, located in the small unincorporated community of Edenville in Gladwin County, Michigan. The parish is dedicated to Saint Anne, the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandmother of Jesus Christ, a patroness long venerated among Catholic communities for her role in the Holy Family.

Serving a rural stretch of central Michigan along M-30, St. Anne Parish ministers to Catholic families in and around Edenville and the surrounding townships of Gladwin County. As with many small-town parishes in the diocese, it functions as a territorial parish rather than a personal or national parish, drawing its congregation from the surrounding geographic area rather than from a particular ethnic or linguistic community.

No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though parishes dedicated to St. Anne in rural Michigan communities such as Edenville often trace their roots to the waves of Catholic settlement that accompanied lumbering and farming development in the region during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

History

Limited sources are publicly available regarding the specific founding and early history of St. Anne Parish in Edenville. Like many small rural parishes established across Michigan's Gladwin County, St. Anne likely developed to serve Catholic farming and lumbering families who settled in the Edenville area, though no confirmed founding date, founding pastor, or early parish records are documented in publicly available sources.

The parish continues to serve as a territorial community within the Diocese of Saginaw, maintaining sacramental and pastoral life for Catholics residing in Edenville and its surrounding rural area.
