St. Ann’s is home to Manhattan’s community of Armenian Rite Catholics and of Bishop Manuel Batakian, who has charge of the Exarchy (a geographical jurisdiction similar to a diocese) for Armenian Rite Catholics in the United States and Canada, which consists of about a dozen priests and 36,000 faithful. This church also has quite an interesting history. Founded in 1853, the parish moved to its current location on 12th Street in 1870. On August 29, 1929, Pope Pius XI designated the church “The American National Shrine of the Motherhood of St. Ann, and the Primary Church for the Archconfraternity of the Motherhood of St. Ann”.

The landmark outcome of this Congress was the Lausanne Covenant supported by the 2,430 participants from 150 nations. The covenant proclaims the substance of the Christian faith as historically declared in the creeds and adds a clear missional dimension to our faith.
