On July 26, 2022, which coincided with the Feast of St. Anne, the Vatican officially designated the Archdiocesan Shrine of St. Anne in Taguig City as a minor basilica. This significant recognition puts the church in the esteemed company of only 20 churches in the country. The declaration was announced by His Excellency Most Rev. Charles John Brown, D.D., the Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines. The title of minor basilica is a prestigious distinction bestowed upon select Catholic churches in recognition of their architectural and historical importance, renowned liturgical practices, and possession of special relics or significant works of art.

In 1587, Taguig was established as a separate town and officially dedicated to St. Anne as its patroness. The responsibility of organizing religious activities in Taguig was entrusted to Augustinian friars, particularly Fr. Diego Alvarez and his assistant, Fr. Diego de Avila. In 1609, Fray Hernando Guerrero, O.S.A., constructed the first sturdy church for the local worshippers. Regrettably, the devastating Luzon earthquake of 1645 caused significant damage to the structure. In 1848, Fray Andres Diaz, O.S.A., began the construction of a new church complex, but it also suffered destruction during the tremor of 1882. In its current form, the church follows the barn-style Baroque architecture design.

The church also held historical significance as it where hundreds of male residents were imprisoned for several days in August 1943 during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. Thus, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, on July 25, 1987, placed a marker on Saint Anne Parish Church. Additionally, the church was officially recognized as a cultural property by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, National Historical Commission of the Philippines, and the National Museum of the Philippines.
