In November 2014, the Archdiocese of New York released the results of a year-long process of evaluation of all its parishes. The Parish of St. Ann was among the many chosen to be merged, in this case with the neighboring Parish of St. Brendan. It was determined that the church would no longer be used for religious functions.

The merger of St. Brendan and St. Ann parishes was implemented August 1, 2015. 

As of September 1,2016 our new parish name is "Parish of St. Brendan and St. Ann"
