Santa Maria Immacolata all'Esquilino is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church on the Esquiline Hill in Rome, dedicated to the Mary Immaculate.[1][2]
History
Santa Maria Immacolata all'Esquilino was built in 1896–1914 in the Gothic Revival style for the Friars of Charity (Frati della Carità, Bigi).[3] The Bigi broke up in 1973.[4]
In 2017, it was reported that the schismatic Society of Saint Pius X was interested in purchasing the church, but no such purchase took place.[5]
On 28 June 2018, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon.[6][7]
