 Its parish was established by Pope Pius XI in 1937 and placed in the care of the Fathers of the Missionary Institute of the Pious Society of St Paul (known as the Paulini, not to be confused with the Paulists at Santa Susanna).The church itself was designed by Carlo Bondini and consecrated much later, on 18 March 1959 by Msgr.Luigi Traglia, and declared to be the "National church of victims of peace, of the fallen and of the victims of war".
