 Opening Reception In the Shadow of St. Anne's: Life in a Changing Community

This exhibit focuses on the history and reinvigoration of Waterbury's South End.

On view in the Community Gallery through

October 21, 2012.  

Saint Anne's Catholic Church, now known as The Shrine of Saint Anne for Mothers, is one of the architectural treasures of Waterbury. Founded in the late 19th century by French Canadian immigrants, the community of Saint Anne's parish played an important role in the shaping of the South End neighborhood. This exhibition tells the story of the church's founding and development, the inter-ethnic neighborhood that flourished around it, the gradual decline of the neighborhood and Saint Anne's and the efforts of numerous stakeholders to rebuild the once-vibrant community around the church.

In the Shadow is generously supported by The Connecticut Humanities Council.
