This page contains audio files (Windows Media Audio - WMA format) of the ceremony of ground-breaking for this Church in 1979. Click on the links to hear a part of our parish history.
The sound quality is somewhat compromised with the passing of time since the original format was a degraded audio cassette before being rendered into digital format. Nevertheless, the files offer a unique and interesting snapshot into the faith and perspicacity of the "founding fathers" of Our Lady of Fatima Spring Hill and of their allegiance to Catholicism and the Roman Pontiff (listen to files # 9 and # 10).
The ground-breaking was presided over by the Reverend Andrew Bonet (our first resident pastor) assisted by the band from Springstead High School (a local public school close by) who graciously provided musical accompaniment. There are 10 audio files in total.
File 1:
This is the first audio piece of the
band

of the current Pastor, Bishop
Terence Fulham)
