The St. Anne Chapel[1] is the name given to a religious building that is affiliated with the Catholic church and is located in the town of Frenchtown,[2] on the island of Saint Thomas, US Virgin Islands, part of the Lesser Antilles.
The temple follows the Roman or Latin rite and is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands (Dioecesis Sancti Thomae in Insulis Virgineis). It was opened and dedicated on 25 December 1921. It was built thanks to the promotion of Father John Guillo (who came from Michigan in 1918)[3] and Paul Dugal. He celebrated his first communion in 1922, and later that same year, the first couple married there on 29 November.[4]
