The church of San Giuda Taddeo Apostolo is a Catholic place of worship located in the Appio-Latino district of Rome, in via Amedeo Crivellucci.[1] It is also known by its location as San Giuda Taddeo ai Cessati Spiriti after the nearest broad street, the Via Cessati Spiriti.

History and description[]

Cardinal Vicar Clemente Micara erected a new parish of San Giuda Taddeo on 18 May 1960, entrusting it to the diocesan clergy of Rome.[2]

The building that now serves as the parish church was constructed in 1994-1996 to designs by architects Giuseppe Forti and Roberto Spaccasassi.[3] On the occasion of the Jubilee of 2000, the diocese of Rome commissioned the artist Oliviero Rainaldi to produce several works for the church:[4][5]

  • the decoration of the apse with a composite work of mosaic and plaster bas-reliefs, depicting the passage from the book of Revelation, chapters 7-9;
  • a high relief in plaster and brass, depicting the Last Supper;
  • a bas-relief in plaster, depicting the Risen Christ, of about 50 m² in surface;
  • a plaster statue, depicting a Madonna and Child, 270 cm high.

Next to the main altar there is a statue that represents the apostle Jude Thaddeus holding a cloth with the face of Jesus imprinted on it.[4]

On the choir in the counter façade there is the pipe organ, built in 1950 by the Zarantonello company and installed in 2016 by Giuseppe Ponzani.[6]

On 31 October 2012, the name of the parish was changed to "San Giuda Taddeo Apostolo".[2]

Pope Francis established the cardinal's title of "San Giuda Taddeo Apostolo" on 28 November 2020.
