About SASPS
St. Anne Shrine Preservation Society, Inc is a Roman Catholic lay organization that has the privilege of operating the historic St. Anne Shrine located in Fall River, Massachusetts. We were founded in 2019 and we entered into an agreement with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River to lease the building and to operate this historic church as a shrine and sacred space, while raising the necessary funds to repair and preserve this landmark for generations to come. The board of directors is currently made up of nine individuals that come from diverse backgrounds and experience. The board members all contribute different talents, insights, and abilities, but the goal is to return St. Anne’s to its rightful place as a destination for prayer, healing, and an increase of faith in the Diocese of Fall River. If you would like to be part of this dynamic organization click the button below we are always looking for dedicated volunteers to support this great ministry and mission. +

What Do People Find At St. Anne’s
First and Foremost a unique atmosphere of faith, prayer and devotion, because the Shrine has been hallowed by the faith and prayers of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims through the years. The Shrine has been hallowed by the wonderful favors that God has bestowed upon those who have come here to seek His help through the intercession of Good Saint Anne.
Votive Candles
As the largest indoor votive light shrine in southern New England, pilgrims can tour this magnificent space and light real votive candles at the many chapels and shrines dedicated to Mary and many other saints.
Miraculous Image
The original statue of St. Anne is located in the lower church, and has been the object of special veneration for over 125 years. When the great upper church was completed in 1906, it was enriched with a new and more beautiful statue, modeled after the famous Shrine of Sainte Anne de Beaupre in Quebec, Canada. But the devotion of pilgrims has been centered of the original image in the lower church.
Favors Granted
Throughout the last 125 years, this magnificent shrine has been a place a healing, prayer and devotion. As a testimony of these many favors granted, faithful have left behind their crutches, canes and other articles as a tribute to their faith. While these healings have never been investigated or officially approved by the Church. We also rely with faith on God’s generous mercy and grace.
