We are still on Mackinac Island, but we are now visiting a beautiful Catholic church filled with rich history. 

Saint Anne's Catholic Church

Saint Anne's Catholic Church has a long history on the island. In the 1670's, Roman Catholicism came to the area through the arrival of Jesuit missionaries like Father Jacques Marquette and Father Claude Dablon. For over 300 years, the church has been providing services to the residence of Mackinac Island and the many visitors that grace its doorsteps.

The church is filled with beautiful images of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus.

The marble altar is breathtaking.

An image of Saint Anne, Mary, and Jesus is situated above the altar.

Th marble altar is flanked by two smaller altars with Joseph and Mary. 

The detail is a amazing. 

I love the way older, historical churches look.

Whenever I enter an older church, I am immediately reminded I am in God's house. 

It brings a sense of peace and comfort to me. 

After walking around the sanctuary, we headed downstairs into their hall.

Located in the basement of the church is a wonderful museum about the Catholic history of the Island. Visitors can explore the museum and find beautiful pieces of artwork and many Catholic artifacts discovered and preserved over the years.

Till Next Time,
