Fatima Hall was established in 1957 in a section of the original Mount St. Joseph building (former Hellmuth College) for a project called the Aspirancy (1957-1967).

This subseries contains pamphlets for the Fatima Hall Aspirancy or Junior Seminary, programs for plays put on by the Aspirancy students such as Halo Round Star which were a series of performances organized in honour of Mother Margaret Coughlin, the General Superior, (includes photographs and a tribute), and a local history of the former Mount St. Joseph and Fatima Hall. There are also aspirant student lists, newspaper clippings related to Fatima Hall, and a scrapbook dedicated to the demolition of Fatima Hall in 1976.

This subseries contains a Kindergarten ledger for 1961-1975.
