Santa Maria Addolorata a piazza Buenos Aires

Santa Maria Addolorata a Piazza Buenos Aires is a titular church and the Argentine national church, on Viale Regina Margherita, Rome.

It was founded by the Argentine priest Msgr. José León Gallardo with donations from the Argentine bishops, with the first stone being laid on 9 July 1910, the centenary of Argentine independence. Mrs. Saenz Peña, wife of the President of Argentina, was present at the ceremony. Construction took twenty years, and the church was finally inaugurated in 1930. From then until 1989, the church was served by Mercedarian fathers; it is now served by Argentine diocesan clergy from a community in an adjoining house.
