The 1st Church, built in the 18th century was destroyed by the cyclone in 1817. Rebuilt in 1824, it becomes soon too small for the population. In the 1870s, the Church of sainte-anne is embellished and enriched, at the initiative of the priest Abbé Hurard with the agreement and material assistance of his parishioners. The parish is also liable for the edification of the Calvary, from 1869, the Abbot Hurard then planted a cross on the morne which dominates the village, just behind the Church. It is also the beginning of the pilgrimage of our Lady of la Salette, established on 19 September and which brings together each year several thousands of faithful. In 1991, the municipality of Sainte-Anne undertakes large work for the renovation of the Bell Tower. The work of restoration of the covers and the facades of transepts, choir and the nave, resumed in 2003. The restored Church was inaugurated on September 19, 2006 by Bishop Michel Méranville in the presence of the Mayor of the commune and the Sub warden of the District of the Sud.L' Church of Sainte-Anne is included in the inventory of historic monuments since 1992.
