New Sidewalk OPEN (and Water Drainage Repaired)!

After months of construction disruption on the Middle Street side of St. Anne’s, the new sidewalk has been opened for access. While easing access to the shrine, sometimes it’s what is underneath that took the most time and effort to repair, and that was the ancient water drainage conduits that had failed over the 120+ years since the building was erected. We’re sure you’ve noticed the heavy equipment, torn up lawn, and limited access…while there are still the ‘final touches’ such as repairing the lawn, returning the Blessed Mother statue to her place, repairing the shrubs which line the path, and general cleanup as part of the post-construction work, this phase of the exterior renovations (and there is work taking place on the north side trancepts; we sure you’ve noticed the equipment there…) is winding down for, we hope, another 120 years.

St. Anne Shrine depends on the generosity of its visitors, benefactors, volunteers, and sponsors of our various activities to allow us to continue to repair, improve, and increase the services and devotions we present for our visitors and friends. It is only through this generosity that we invest 100% of the offerings and donations to the preservation and restoration of this landmark in Fall River. Please stop by and see what St. Anne’s Shrine is becoming in this, the 154th year since our patroness was brought to the city.
