Review:
St Ann Catholic Church and National Shrine, formerly the St. Ambrose Parish, is a national shrine in Metairie, Louisiana dedicated to St. Ann, the mother of the Virgin Mary and the grandmother of Jesus. At the heart of the shrine is a grotto-like structure behind the sanctuary are the holy stairs. People ascend these steps while on their knees praying the “Stations of the Cross,” which are wonderfully represented in stained glass at the top of the staircase. The honoring of St. Ann tradition has been traced back to the year 1584, and the feast day is celebrated on July 26th.
