Nicholas Julius Battista
3 reviews on 1 places
It's the American Community Catholic Parish in Rome, a home away from home open to English speaking Catholics from everywhere. It's staffed by the Paulist Fathers who welcome everybody for services, outreaching, an annual fundraising dinner event at St. Nicholas for charities in Rome.
It's a great place for groceries, the only problem is that Vatican employees or whoever has a Vatican ID can have access to it so in case you're on a tour of the Vatican City and pass by it, you can only visit it. Only the Vatican Pharmacy is accessible with a prescription.
It's a Marian Sanctuary located in the Center City of Rome where the Miracle of the Well took place on September 26, 1256 the waters of which brought an image of the Virgin Mary on a slate to the brim of the Well remaining afloat where the aides tried to seize it but without success and grabbed only by Card. Pietro Capocci who brought it to Pope Alexander IV to witness the incident and after a juridical trial, the latter was declared a miracle and since then whoever drinks the water with devotion, the Virgin Mary grants graces. A must to visit for the beauty of the church and its history!
