About this painting:

Saint Series: Saint Anne

Day 8/31

Saint Anne is a really important saint in my family. In 1658, my ancestors moved from France to found the city of Quebec. They started building a Catholic Church and miraculous healings were happening attributed to a statue in the sanctuary. The statue was of Saint Anne. Pilgrims were coming from all over to be healed there. They named the church Saint Anne in her honor.

Then my family was asked to found a city in Michigan. They moved westward and helped to found the city of Detroit. They moved on July 24th, 1701 and broke ground on the church two days later. It was July 26th, the feast of Saint Anne. They knew immediately Saint Anne was an important intercessor for them. Since then, so many of my family members have had Anne in their name- and I am proud to have her name in mine.

Saint Anne, pray for us!!
