Our Lady of Fatima Highland Lks NJ at 184 Breakneck Rd., Highland Lakes, NJ 07422 US - Our Parish History
Our Parish History
Beginning in 1949, a Summer mission was begun with Sunday Mass offered in the Highland Lakes clubhouse. The present church was built in 1954 and Bishop Navagh established Our Lady of Fatima as a parish in 1965. Formerly it was a mission of St.Monica's church, Sussex. Monsignor Christian D. Haag and Father Aloysius J. Busch served the people of the mission church. In 1965, the newly established parish's boundaries reached to most of Vernon Township. The new parish started with two churches:its own and St. Francis de Sales mission in McAfee. Father Busch was appointed Our Lady of Fatima's pastor.
