Fatima Church, Catholic church building in Kolkata, India
Fatima Church sits on CIT Road and features a modern design that merges traditional Catholic architectural elements with contemporary spaces for worship and religious ceremonies. The building is structured to accommodate hundreds of worshippers during its regular services and special observances.
The Archbishopric of Calcutta authorized the land acquisition in 1951 under Ferdinand Perier, setting the foundation for what would come later. The building was completed and opened in 1966, marking the formal establishment of this house of worship.
The church serves as a gathering place for Catholics across several neighborhoods, creating a spiritual center where people come together for worship and community events. Over time, it has become a recognized landmark for those seeking religious services in this part of the city.
The church sits on CIT Road, making it accessible by public transport and easy to find from surrounding streets. Visitors should check the schedule for Mass times before arriving to ensure they visit during active hours of worship.
The Redemptorists took charge of the parish when it opened in 1966, with Fathers G Morgan and Daniel O'Callaghan as the founding members of this religious community. This same group has remained instrumental in guiding the spiritual life of the congregation ever since.
