Sainte Anne Church is a Roman Catholic church located in the city of Mackinac Island in the U.S. state of Michigan.
The Jesuit missionary Claude Dablon inaugurated the original church on Mackinac Island in 1670, and the earliest surviving parish records date back to 1695.[2] After moving from Fort de Buade to Fort Michilimackinac about 1708 and from Fort Michilimackinac to Mackinac Island in 1781, the parish used a historic log church for decades. It constructed the current church complex in 1874 on a site donated by the former fur trader Magdelaine Laframboise.[3] The church was dedicated as a Michigan State Historic Site on December 20, 1990.
