On June 29th, 2025, St. Anne, East Moline, and St. John the Baptist, Rapids City, merged to form Our Lady of Grace Parish.

St. Anne Church was established in 1919 by Father William Cleary in response to the needs of a growing and multi-ethnic Catholic community in East Moline. More than 100 years later, St. Anne is still a faith-filled community that embraces diversity and has adapted to the changing environment while maintaining its core Catholic values and identity.
