Nostra Signora di Guadalupe e San Filippo Martire in Via Aurelia (Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Philip Martyr in Via Aurelia) is the national church of Mexico in Rome. Opened in 1958, it was established as a titular church by Pope John Paul II in 1991, with Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo as its first titular Cardinal Priest (1991-1993). It is owned and served by the Legion of Christ.
History
It was built between 1955 and 1958 by architect Gianni Mazzocca as a church to attend the Mexican community in Rome. It was consecrated by Cardinal Vicar Clemente Micara on 12 December 1958.
