Santa Monica degli Agostiniani, Augustinian chapel in Borgo district, Rome, Italy

Santa Monica degli Agostiniani is a small chapel within the International College of Augustinians in Rome, featuring finely crafted internal mosaics and classical elements of Roman religious architecture. The interior feels simple yet refined, with details that emphasize Augustinian heritage.

The chapel was designed and built in 1941 by Giuseppe Momo as a religious center for the International Augustinian College. In 2023, it received the elevated status of a titular deaconry within the Catholic Church, marking a significant church recognition.

The chapel is dedicated to Saint Monica, mother of Augustine of Hippo, and takes its name from her. Since 30 September 2023 it has been a cardinal-deaconry created by Pope Francis; its first holder was Robert Francis Prevost, ordained priest here on 19 June 1982 and later elected Pope Leo XIV. Mosaics by Marko Rupnik decorate the interior.

The chapel stands on Piazza del Sant'Uffizio in the Borgo district, just south of Vatican City, facing the old church of San Pietro in Borgo. It belongs to the International College of Augustinians and their General Curia, so access follows the community's use rather than a parish timetable. Visitors should check with the college before planning a stop.

Robert Prevost, later Pope Leo XIV, was ordained a priest in this chapel on 19 June 1982. When the chapel became a titular church on 30 September 2023, he was its first cardinal-deacon, holding the title until he became Cardinal Bishop of Albano on 6 February 2025.
