History
It was one of the national churches of Ireland until 2017 when it became the national church of the United States of America.[1] Since August 2017 (when they were transferred from Santa Susanna), it has been under the pastoral care of the Missionary Society of Saint Paul the Apostle (Paulist Fathers), a religious order which originated and is based in New York City.[2]
It was built in 1908 to designs in a Romanesque-Byzantine revival style by Aristide Leonori.[3] An earlier church on the site, Santa Maria in Posterula, was demolished, but a fresco was saved and installed in the new structure. The apse mosaic dates from 1929 and depicts Saint Patrick preaching to the crowds.[4]
Its current Cardinal-Priest is Thomas Collins, the former Archbishop of Toronto.[5]
Since the move, the current National Church of Ireland is the Church of Sant'Isidoro a Capo le Case.
