The Parish of St. Ann-St. Brendan is a parish of the Archdiocese of New York located in the Bronx, New York. It was created on August 1, 2015 by the merger of two previous parishes, the Shrine Church of St. Ann and the Parish of St. Brendan.
History
As part of a sweeping merger of parishes of the archdiocese by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Archbishop of New York, the decision was made to merge these two parishes. The former St. Brendan's Church was designated to serve as the parish church of the new parish.[1] The inaugural Mass of the new parish took place on August 1, 2015.[2]
