CWN Editor's Note: “Founded on July 26, 1701, by French missionaries arriving on the banks of what would be known as the Detroit River, Ste. Anne Parish is the second-oldest continually operating Catholic parish in the United States,” according to the report. Only the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine in St. Augustine, Fla., founded in 1565, is older.”
