Our
Histories
Although
Our Lady of Hope parish—with the Chapel
of the Assumption—was only recently
incorporated as a parish in the year 2000, our
history is much older. Begun in 1834, the
Catholic faith was established in Whitehall at
St. Anthony’s Church. Within a few short
decades, the faith flourished and, in 1868, our
community established the parishes of Our
Lady of Angels and Notre Dame des
Victoires.
St.
Ann’s,
originally established as a mission in 1880, has
faithfully served Catholics of Fort Ann for over
125 years. Nestled between Whitehall and Hudson
Falls, this small parish community now boasts a
lively faith and small-parish living.
Together, both
parishes of Our Lady of Hope and of St. Ann’s,
continue today to provide a home in which all
Catholics are able to share their worship, their
faith, and the presence of God in our midst. Come
share these great blessings with us!
