Santa Maria Immacolata di Lourdes a Boccea is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church in Rome, dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes.[2]
History
The church was built in 1958, the centenary of the first Lourdes apparitions, as a parish church of the Diocese of Rome attached to the school of the Suore dell'Immacolata Concezione di Nostra Signora di Lourdes (Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady of Lourdes). The façade is characterized by a large concrete pseudotympanum, set on a central band in travertine, which contains the entrance portal and a rose window.[3][4]
In 1985, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-priest.[5]
