- Billy McSteaGateshead, United Kingdom7 contributionsMarvellous Church. Priests serving the People of God. Introbo Ad Altare Dei!A marvellous Church, precisely what Churches should be. Managed to pray the Rosary before Mass in Extraordinary Form. Loved seeing the Priests of the Fraternity of St Peter offer their private masses early in the morning before the 7:15 AM mass. As a Confraternity of St Peter member it was beautiful to see my prayers are being answered and to see the priests I pray for every day. Loved it so much. I will definitely return for mass the next time I’m in the Eternal City.Visited April 2024Traveled soloWritten April 18, 2024

- Obiwan the Birman CatSwitzerland119 contributionsTraditional Latin Mass. This is the parish church of the Fraternity of Saint Peter in Rome.Conveniently located near the Forum and Trastevere, if you are on pilgrimage to Rome, you ought to visit this church founded by St. Philip Neri to host poor pilgrims visiting the Eternal City. Sadly, the pilgrim's hospice no longer functions as such, but the priests of the Fraternity of Saint Peter, who offer the Traditional Latin Mass here, are very friendly and welcoming of individual priests or groups wishing to celebrate the Latin Mass here. The parish offers splendid solemn liturgies and an array of other activities for the faithful.Visited August 2024Traveled soloWritten January 10, 2025

This church and its museum complex are a hidden gem of Naples. The museum is currently closed to the public due to an extensive renovation project, but for those lucky enough to gain access (for reasons of scholarship), it is a truly special experience. I received a guided visit from Signore Giuseppe, and I count myself very fortunate to have spent a couple of hours with him, learning the history of the museum, the confraternity's work, and its many treasures.
Once this complex re-opens, it will be a must-see in the city for those with any interest in co fraternal or church history, not to mention those who want to see some incredible works of art.

The church was built between 1587 and 1616 on the site of the pre-existing church of San Benedetto in Arenula by the Archconfraternity of the SS. Trinity of Help or of the Pilgrims, founded in 1548 by St.Philip Neri and recognized by Pope Paul III.
Their mission was to welcome and assist pilgrims in Rome.
In 1558 Pope Paul IV assigned the perpetual use of the church to the Archconfraternity which in 1559 purchased a house nearby to be used as a hospital and hospice.
In fact the charity institution was founded by San Filippo Neri in favor of the poor and the sick.
Starting from the Jubilee of 1575 and in the following Holy Years, the Trinity church and its hospice were the center of religious reception in Rome, hosting up to 400,000 people.
In the chapel dedicated to the saint are the altarpiece with the "Ecstasy of St Philip" and other paintings depicting episodes from his life.
The church was rebuilt in 1603-1616 on a design by Paolo Maggi. The high eighteenth-century façade, with a slightly concave effect, has two orders of six Corinthian and composite columns and is adorned with four niches with statues of the four Evangelists by Bernardo Ludovisi.
It was built by Francesco De Sanctis in 1723. The interior of the church has a Latin cross shape and has a large nave with three chapels on each side reworked by Antonio Sarti in 1853.
It houses numerous sculptures and splendid frescoes.
On the facade of the church there is a plaque commemorating the death of Goffredo Mameli from Genoa. He was an Italian patriot, poet, writer and a notable figure in the Italian Risorgimento. He is also the author of the lyrics of the Italian national anthem.
He died in 1849 during the siege of Rome by the French army, the last act of the short life of the Roman Republic of 1849.
It is worth a visit.

A baroque church, which in the 16th century was donated by Philip Neri to look after the poor and pilgrims . In the following centuries, the parish and neighboring buildings continued to serve the original purpose of receiving pilgrims and sick poor people. In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI entrusted the parish to the fraternity of Saint. Piotr, an association of apostolic life dedicated to celebrating and preserving the Tridentine Mass. A beautiful and fascinating church in the historic center of Rome. It is not very big, but with various works of art, including a painting by Guido Reni.

We came across this large 16th century church as we walked from Ponte Sisto into the city centre.
One thing Rome is not short of is churches but this one caught our eye. What you se here is a large, and ornately decorated structure with a curved, concave facade.
Above the over-sized entrance is a winged cherub head, and above that, an inscription runs across the entire width of the church.
Pairs of monumental Corinthian columns run the full height of the church and larger-than-life statues of the evangelists stand in arched niches. We’d been used to seeing empty niches on so many churches that it was nice to see these statues still in their rightful place.
Inside, it has a beautiful painted dome which floods the main space with light.
Although the church dates back to the 16th century, most of what we saw inside is from a mid-19th century restoration.
At first there seems to be a lavish use of rich materials and marble, but all is not as it seems. Instead they used a clever trick (scagliola), where powdered marble was mixed with plaster, glue and other pigments creating a much cheaper composite. By the time it was polished up, it looked very much like real marble but at a fraction of the cost. Clever!
Each of the side chapels is highly decorated but the second chapel on the right, is dedicated to St Philip Neri. It was Philip Neri’s efforts and his charity to the sick, the poor, and to pilgrims that attracted the attention of Pope Paul IV in 1558. In acknowledgement of his work, the Pope donated the church to the saint and his followers. Philip Neri and his followers ran a hospice from here, accommodating up to 500 people and and feeding almost a thousand. There is a portrait of the saint on the left pillar of his chapel, which was painted during his lifetime by one of his followers.
Entry is free.

This church is run by the FSSP. They offer exclusively the Latin mass. A beautiful church. If you want to attend the Latin mass in Roma, this is the place.

As I was walking by this church, I had to grab a photo. The environmental damage is very noticeable. You can see how brown carbon (ash, carbon dioxide, and/or methane) has discolored, to brown, the original white travertine marble. Eventually, the marble will start to flake away and continue to erode. Air Pollution can really cause damage. If you don’t believe in being environmentally friendly, see what air pollution has done to this church in Rome, Italy.

Very close to the Campo di Fiore is the Chiesa della Trinita' dei Pellegrini where Mass is still said in Latin. It was one of the most ancient Roman churches dedicated to the leader of European monasticism. It was given to the Confraternity of Pilgrims by Paul IV in 1558. It was reconstructed and crowned with the dome in 1603-1616 by Giovanni Paolo Maggi. The façade was designed by Francesco De Sanctis 1723. The main altar has four columns of African black marble, and was built in 1616 by designs of Domenico Pozzi. The altarpiece depicts the Trinity (1625), a masterwork by Guido Reni.

A great blessing to be able to attend wonderful, peaceful Masses in the traditional Roman rite. We also had the good fortune to have the opportunity to attend a High Mass for the Annunciation of the Lord.

I stumbled upon this church on the way to Palazzo Spada and took a quick look attracted by its harmonious, a bit grim facade. The altar painted by Guido Reni is one of the treasures in this Baroque church, so definitely worth stopping for 10-15 minutes.

Being the city of churches the visitor is spoilt for choice, the ornate facade of this one tempted us in. The interior is beautiful, vaulted ceilings good use of light and plenty of marble. what more could you expect from a Catolic church.
