"The new church of Our Lady of Fatima, built on the old site on Main Street, Ocho Rios, will be dedicated June 22, 1975. Onesto Maffessanti, builder and contractor, who built the church and Rev. Fr. James H. Barry, pastor of the church are shown in front of the nearly completed building. The architects were A.D. Lowe and Associates. The church will seat about 325 persons. It was built at a cost of $122,109.50 with an annex containing the sacristy, priests' room, altar boys' room, etc., which cost $7,820. It is estimated that the church furnishings will cost another $10,000. The Mission of Our Lady of Fatima began serving the people of Ocho Rios and visitors 24 years ago, when Father Neil Donahue offered his first Mass In the carport of Captain McGrath's residence. This property was later purchased by the Bishop of Kingston and regular masses were celebrated every week."
