San Giovanni Battista de Rossi (church)

S Giovanni Battista de Rossi is a church in Rome. It is dedicated to Saint John Baptist de Rossi (February 22, 1698 - May 23, 1764).

Saint John Baptist was canonized in the year 1881 by Pope Leo XIII. This church was commissioned by Pope Pius XII in 1940 with the services of the architect Tullio Rossi. Owing to a delay in its construction due to the Second World War, the church could only be consecrated on May 22, 1965. St John Baptist de Rossi's relics were translated on May 23, 1965, his feast day with Luigi Cardinal Traglia, the Vicar General of Rome, presiding - they were moved from the Church of SS Trinità dei Pellegrini.

Nearly four years later, on April 30, 1969, Pope Paul VI made it a titular church, with John Joseph Cardinal Carberry as the first titular. The second, and present, titular is Cardinal Julio Terrazas Sandoval, appointed in 2001. The church itself is served by diocesan clergy.
