St. Anne Shrine of Fall River, located at the intersection of South Main and Middle streets in Fall River, Massachusetts, is a historic local landmark with a rich history dating back to its construction in 1891. The complex includes the former Dominican Order monastery and the former Dominican Academy, showcasing Romanesque Revival architecture designed by Canadian architect Napoléon Bourassa.
Under the direction of the Dominican Order until 1978, the shrine has been a place of pilgrimage and prayer, known for its association with miraculous healings attributed to Good Saint Anne. Despite the closure of the main upper church in 2018 for restoration, the lower crypt church shrine was reopened in 2019, continuing to welcome visitors seeking spiritual solace and historical insight.
