History

St. Anna was established on the shore of Pelican Lake by Catholic immigrants from Poland. Their first church, a small wood-frame building, was built in 1887. It was completely destroyed by fire in June 1902. A new building, of yellow brick, was constructed in the winter of 1902 and dedicated in October 1903. [4]

Immaculate Conception is part of a cluster of three parishes known as the Two Rivers Catholic Community. The other parishes are St. Stanislaus Kostka in Bowlus and All Saints in Holdingford. [5]
