It was built in the twentieth century and inaugurated 7 November 1998.

The parish was erected on 28 May 1965 with the decree Neminem fugit, issued by the Cardinal Vicar Luigi Traglia, and entrusted to the secular priests of the Institute of Sodales Priests. Originally the parish was dedicated to St. Mary of the Purification. On 2 December 1996, by decree of Cardinal Camillo Ruini, it assumed its current name.
