Description

[edit]

It was built in the twentieth century by the architect Aldo Aloysi. The church is located in an elevated position with respect to the square outside and is accessed by a ladder on the left side. Totally built of reinforced concrete, the church is flanked by a high bell tower, which features a statue of Christ with outstretched arms.

The church is the home of the parish, established on 14 December 1963 by decree of the Cardinal Vicar Clemente Micara "Neminem sane latet". The church is linked to the titular church of "St. Gregory the Great at Magliana Nuova", instituted by Pope John Paul II on 21 February 2001.
