This new church served the community for over 12 years . By 1871 , the year of the Great Chicago Fire , the town of Barrington Station had prospered and a larger church was needed . At this time , the church had 84 members and 6 probationary members . The Station Church was sold to the Catholics for $ 550 and became the first St. Anne Church . The ladies of the church were able to accumulate enough money to purchase a lot on Cook Street on which to erect a new church
