San Gabriele dell'Addolorata, Parish church in Don Bosco district, Rome, Italy.
San Gabriele dell'Addolorata stands as a modern parish church located on Via Ponzio Cominio in Rome's Don Bosco neighborhood, serving the local Catholic community with daily religious services and pastoral activities.
The parish was originally established in 1970 when Don Guido Cattivera opened a temporary chapel in a residential building on Via Livia Drusilla, which served the community for forty years until the current church was consecrated in February 2010.
The church houses five bells with symbolic names including 'La Risorta' representing resurrection and 'L'Addolorata' expressing maternal sorrow, along with six first-class relics from saints including San Gabriele, San Paolo della Croce, and San Giovanni Bosco.
Daily masses are celebrated at 7:30 AM and 6:30 PM on weekdays, while Sunday services are held at 8:30 AM, 10:30 AM, and 6:30 PM, with confession and other religious services available throughout the week.
The church's construction involved a community petition with over 5,100 signatures to secure the necessary urban planning permissions, demonstrating exceptional grassroots mobilization for a religious building project in modern Rome.
