St. Patrick’s in Rome is an Irish National Catholic Church found in the centre of the city. This church is the home base of the Irish Augustinians here in Rome and also the vibrant Irish community which lives in the Eternal City. It is a welcoming place for both expatriates and vistors alike and the church holds mass in both English and Italian at different times during the day. Fleeing persecution in Ireland during the 1600’s, priests of the Augustinian sect were forced to come to Europe to train priests. They then took up residence in their present location in the Villa Ludovisi area in 1892. The church holds numerous weddings throughout the year for Irish couples wanting to marry in the Eternal City.
