Parish History
In 1950, on the occasion of the pilgrim Virgin of Fatima's first visit to Karachi, the Catholics vowed that the next Church to be erected would be dedicated to our Lady of Fatima.
On the 22nd August 1953, the Most Rev. Alcuin Van Miltenburg (the late Archbishop of Karachi) set the boundaries of the new parish.
May 1955 became a chaplaincy under St. Patrick's with resident priests. In Sept. 1957 it became an independent parish.
On the 13th July 1962, the foundation Stone was blessed and laid by H. E. Mgr. Xavier Zupie, the Vatican Internuncio.
On the 8th Sep, 1963, the Church was blessed and dedicated to Our lady of Fatima. AREAS WITHIN THE PARISH
