Saint Anne Church, formally the Shrine of Saint Anne for Mothers, is a Roman Catholic church located in the South End neighborhood of Waterbury, CT, part of All Saints Parish (Spanish: Todos Los Santos). Saint Anne Parish was founded in 1886 to serve city's the French-Catholic population. For nearly 100 years, two 100 foot steeples served as a prominent Waterbury landmark; however, due to ongoing structural problems, the spires were carefully removed in 2019 and stored for possible reconstruction.

In 2017, Archbishop Leonard Blair merged several other parishes into Saint Anne's, renaming the consolidated parish as All Saints. Nearby Our Lady of Lourdes church, erected as a in independent parish in 1899, and consolidated into All Saints/Todos Los Santos in 2017, is the parish's second worship site. In 2023, another Church, St. Francis Xavier, joined the parish.
