Santa Teresa in Panfilo

About

Santa Teresa del Bambin Gesù in Panfilo is a church in the Pinciano quarter of Rome, at the junction of via Giovanni Paisiello and via Gaspare Spontini. It is dedicated to Teresa of Lisieux and since its inception has been run by the Discalced Carmelites, whose monastery next door was completed in 1929. The epithet in Panfilo derives from the catacomb of San Panfilo on which it was built to designs by Guglielmo Palombi between 1929 and 1932, though its crypt was opened on 16 May 1928. It was consecrated on 2 October 1932 by monsignor Adeodato Giovanni Piazza. It was made a parish church from 6 December 1952 to 30 September 2011 as a result of Omnium ecclesiarum, a decree by the Cardinal Vicar Clemente Micara.
