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).
Our Mass schedule is: Monday through Friday at 6 PM,
the Saturday Vigil Mass at 6 PM (except May 18 and 25 when our Confirmation Masses begin at 5:30 PM) and Sunday morning at 9 AM and 10:30 AM.
All of our Masses are in English. Click here for Map and Public Transportation to St. Patrick's Church.

Unfortunately we have no more copies of our Jubilee edition (2017/2018) of As Romans Do, our periodic guide for pilgrims to Rome. Much of the information in this Guide Book is on our website. We hope that the 2019-2020 edition of As Romans Do will be ready by Easter 2019. Please do not request the 2019 edition at this time but wait until its publication is announced.
