History

Our Lady of Fatima Chapel was established in 1954 to cater to a significant influx of Western Electric employees who moved from New Jersey to Winston-Salem. Originally, the chapel was housed in a small gray brick building, which was once the city's first public library built in the early 1900s. The parish has since seen an increase in diversity, particularly with the growth of the Hispanic community in the 1990s, leading to a multicultural congregation today.[1]

Special features

  • The chapel's location in downtown Winston-Salem makes it a central point for Catholic worship in the city.
