Church of St. Anne, Yekaterinburg

The Catholic parish in Yekaterinburg was founded in 1876 and included more than 1,000 parishioners. In 1884 the stone Church of Saint Anne was built. After the 1917 revolution, the reverend was shot and the temple ruined. The building served at different times during the Soviet period as a library, a kindergarten and a bus station. In the early 1960s, the temple building was demolished. Rebuilding of the Catholic Church in Russia began in the early 1990s after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Permission was granted to the Catholic parish to build a temple at almost the exact same location as the site of the historic church. The church was consecrated by the Apostolic Administrator of Western Siberia, Bishop Joseph Werth on July 30, 2000.
