==History==<br />
<br />
On 4 August 1951, the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Calcutta|Archbishop of Calcutta]] [[Ferdinand Perier]] gave permission to [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] Father Julian Henry (of St Teresa's parish) to acquire a piece of land for the construction of a place of worship in the area. Devotion to [[our Lady of Fatima]] was started by Fr Henry S.J. and the chapel was known as 'Fatima shrine'. Regular [[Religious procession|processions]] to Fatima Shrine were organized from St. Teresa’s church.{{fact|date=December 2018}}<br />
<br />
On 7 November 1965, two [[Redemptorist]] Fathers, G. Morgan and Daniel O’Callaghan came to [[Calcutta]] and formed the first Redemptorist Community. They took over the shrine and centre on 1 January 1966. It was canonically erected a [[parish]] on 5 January 1969.<ref>http://www.archdioceseofcalcutta.in/</ref> On 5 January 1966, Fatima Church was erected as a parish and officially handed over to the [[redemptorist]] community.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fatimaparish.in/ |title=Fatima Parish Official Website |access-date=14 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161206084345/http://www.fatimaparish.in/ |archive-date=6 December 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
