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.

Please note that as of February 4, 2020 the Metro stop BARBERINI has re-opened for exiting only. You are now able to EXIT the Barberini station (but not enter it). This is actually good for us in that you will be able to take the A line to Barberini, exit and then take one of the Buses on Via Veneto which after two stops will let you off a block from St. Patrick's. (Bus 63 or 83). You can also come to St. Patrick's by bus, by taxi (tell them Via Boncompagni at Via Piemonte) or by walking, and join us for Mass in English!
