Fatima Church is a Catholic church on CIT Road, Kolkata, serving people in and around CIT Road, Entally and Park Circus. In 1951 the Archbishop of Calcutta, Ferdinand Perier, allowed Father Julian Henry, a Jesuit of St Teresa's parish, to buy land for a place of worship. Fr Henry began devotion to Our Lady of Fatima here, the chapel became known as Fatima Shrine, and processions came to it from St Teresa's church.
Fathers Daniel O'Callaghan and G. Morgan, both Redemptorists, reached Calcutta in November 1965 and took over the shrine on 1 January 1966. It became a parish in 1969, and the Redemptorists still look after it.
