1919
Prior to 1919, the closest place of worship for Catholics in the Bellview area of Pensacola was 12 miles away. Bellview's first mass was held in the "Union Church ", a community building shared by various denomination.
1936-1937
On June 21, 1936 Sisters of the Trinitarian Order, who held catechism lessons in the Union Church, solicited donations for land on which a Catholic Church could be built, and soon had many offers. The Sisters chose the present site for its central location within the community of Bellview. Ground was broken April 13, 1937. Through various generous donations and fund raising events, the church was built. Dedication took place on June 13, 1937, by Archbishop T. J. Toolen, Bishop of Mobile. St. Anne's Church , now a reality became a mission of Little Flower Parish in Myrtle Grove.
