Santi Simone e Giuda Taddeo a Torre Angela, Cardinal title church in Torre Angela, Rome, Italy
Santi Simone e Giuda Taddeo a Torre Angela is a modern parish church in an eastern district of Rome located on Via di Torrenova. The building features architectural elements designed by Francesco da Volterra and Carlo Lombardi.
Pope Francis established this church as a cardinal title in 2014, making it one of the titular churches of the Roman Curia. This designation gives the church importance for the global administration of the Catholic Church.
The church is named after two apostles whose feast day is celebrated on October 28 within the local community. This naming connects worshippers to an ancient Christian tradition stretching back to the early church.
The church is located in an easily accessible residential neighborhood in eastern Rome where regular services take place. Visitors should expect typical parish church hours and plan to arrive early for special holiday celebrations.
A cardinal assigned to the church later advanced to a higher ecclesiastical position while maintaining a spiritual connection to this place. This dual role shows how titular churches remain significant even after the promotion of their cardinals.
