History

Santa Maria Immacolata all'Esquilino was built in 1896–1914 in the Gothic Revival style for the Friars of Charity (Frati della Carità, Bigi).[5] The Bigi broke up in 1973.[6]

In 2017, the church was purchased by the Society of Saint Pius X.[5]

On 28 June 2018, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon.[7][8]
