The parish was formally established in 1982, reflecting the expansion of urban religious infrastructure in Łódź during the communist era.
Construction of the current church building was completed in stages, with final architectural finishes added over several years as funding allowed.
The church serves as the primary place of worship for the inhabitants of the Widzew-Wschód district.
It is dedicated to Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, a patron frequently chosen for parishes established in Polish residential suburbs.
Kościół pw. św. Anny is a prominent brick-clad Roman Catholic parish church located in the Widzew district of Łódź. The structure was established to serve the growing residential population of the surrounding area during the late 20th century. Its architectural design emphasizes a functional, modern layout characteristic of post-conciliar church building in Poland. The interior is noted for its functional liturgical space designed to accommodate large congregational gatherings. The parish remains an active center for local religious life and community events in the southeastern part of the city.
