History
[edit]In 1949, the Stanley Parish was established by the Hong Kong Diocese. The church had not existed at the time and the chapel of Discalcled Carmelite Convent was instead used for parish activities.[2]
The construction of St Anne's Church was announced in 1955 and construction was completed in 1959.[2]
On 18 December 1958, the church's corner stone was blessed and laid by Cardinal Gregorio Pietro Agagianian, Prefect of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith.
Since 2019, St Anne's Church is now under the administration by the Friars of the Carmelite Order.
