The Santa Ana Parish Church, commonly known as Molo Church, is a neogothic Roman Catholic church located in the district of Molo in Iloilo City, Iloilo, in the Philippines. It is under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Jaro. The church is recognized as "the women's church" or "the feminist church" because it only features images of female saints inside, including Saint Anne, the patron saint of Molo. The National Historical Institute declared it a national landmark in 1992.
