The Story

St. Ann's is one block south of the Tenleytown/AU Metro station. The parish has served the Tenleytown community since 1875, growing alongside the neighborhood's development. The current church building was designed by the same architect who designed the cathedral for the Archdiocese of Atlanta. The parish also hosts The Ark DC, a vibrant young adult Catholic ministry.
