St. Anne (sometimes spelled Saint Anne)[1] is a village in Kankakee County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,161 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Kankakee–Bourbonnais–Bradley Metropolitan Statistical Area. It was founded in 1851[3] by Charles Chiniquy, a French-Canadian Catholic priest and friend of the 16th U.S. President Abraham Lincoln who was excommunicated by the Catholic Church in 1856.[4] He later converted to Protestant Christianity, becoming a Presbyterian Evangelical minister and a well-known temperance activist in Canada and the United States.[4]
