History edit
The parish was set up in 1962 and put into the care of the Theatines, whose founder was Saint Cajetan.[3][4]
The church was built in 1975–79, the architect being Giorgio Pacini. It is cylindrical in shape.[5]
On 30 September 2023, Pope Francis made it a titular church to be held by a cardinal-priest.[6]
