Our Mission
The Mission of the Catholic American Community of St. Patrick’s Church in Rome:
United by our Catholic faith and English language, we celebrate and live together the faith of Saints Peter and Paul founded in this holy city of Rome. We welcome those who come to Rome as pilgrims and tourists seeking to grow in their Catholic faith celebrated in language and ways familiar to them. We reach out to those in our city who depend on others for the compassion that leads to human dignity and opportunity. We join in ecumenical collaboration with those of other Christian traditions to know and live our gospel faith most fully.
All of our Masses are at the St. Patrick's Church/Chiesa di San Patrizio, Via Boncompagni, N. 31 (00187 Rome, Italy).
Church Hours: Sunday: 8:30 AM to 12 Noon; Monday through Saturday: 4 PM to 7 PM; Plus Thursday: 9 AM to 12:30 PM. Mass schedule: Monday - Friday at 6:00 PM, Saturday Vigil at 6:00 PM and Sunday morning at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. Several Masses are livestreamedon Facebook and later posted on YouTube. Here are the required protocols
Go to our Facebook page to watch Fr. Greg's video as he helps us launch Serata-thon 2020! This is the first time he will not be able to participate in the Saint Nicholas Serata in 16 years... however, it turns out that Fr. Greg (and any of you around the world) CAN come to the Serata as this special fundraising event is now virtual!!! The Serata-thon is currently live but ends on Saturday, December 5. Go to our new website: www.stnicholasserata.org. You can buy raffle tickets for six great prizes and/or make a donation via PayPal, credit card, bank transfer (bonifico), check or cash. All proceeds for this event go to four of the local charities we have sponsored over the years. Our goal is € 20,000, so please join us in supporting these charities again. Make the Serata-thon a part of your Advent! #SNSeratathon2020
