Visit our “Images of Faith” museum located in the basement of Ste. Anne Church. The displays highlight the religious history of Mackinac and are open to the public during the spring, summer and fall seasons. Baptismal, marriage and death records date back to 1695 and show the settlement of Mackinac Island through its local and immigrant populations.
This important piece of historical reference also enlightens the reader to the the development of catholicism in America through the work of dedicated Jesuits and devoted catholic immigrants.
To obtain a copy of the Mackinac Register on CD Rom, please contact the parish directly.
