History

A new church seemed necessary in the residential area built in the 1970s. This was only possible after the fall of socialism. Construction started in 1991. The plans were made by the engineer Günther Tibor. The sanctuary was designed by H. Lukácsovits Magda. The main decoration of the church is a statue of Our Lady of Fatima, a gift from the World Apostolate of Fatima in Switzerland, and a crucifix on the wall behind the altar. The church was consecrated by Bishop Reizer Pál on 12 October 1996 and two years later it was declared a diocesan church. It was elevated to parish status on 1 August 1999. On 23 September 1999 it became the headquarters of the Fatima Apostolate of Romania.
