Welcome to the Rome headquarters of the Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri! It's the parish church of Saint Gregory the Great (http://www.fssp-roma.org/en/welcome.htm)!After several months the scaffolding is now gone and this is the restored it! Once upon a time, this was just a dark Roman alley with a hidden treasure at the end of it. But now it's all been restored and so we thank our Blessed Lord and rejoice in Latin: "Oremus pro benefactoribus nostris!"
Anyone want to donate $6,000 for the proposed project for the installation of new interior lighting in the church (the current lighting dates mainly from the year 1929)! Write to the pastor, Rev. Joseph Kramer, FSSP!

Hallelujah! The catacomb has a fresh face!
The Diocese of Rome has really outdone itself to show how much it values the FSSP and, by implication, the TLM.
How fitting: When Christ, our King, was born it was in a stable, there being no room at the Inn for the Holy Family.
If I will ever get back to Rome I will certainly find my way again to San Gregorio dei muratori and one of the most edifying, reverent Masses (Fr. Kramer's) I assisted at anywhere.
By the way, the map on the FSSP site has the location of the church slightly incorrect: It is really located on the LEFT side of Via LECCOSA as you walk towards the end of it, and almost at the VERY END.

I can't wait to see the un-scaffolded facade in person! Where are the necropolis pictures?
I was told I could find them here.
I'll keep checking back . . .
God bless.
Actually, the Diocese of Rome had nothing to do with it. The Church facade is part of a larger building that has been in the very long process of being cleaned up and outfitted.
As for the directions on the website, I can't figure out how it indicates that the church is not on the left side of the street. Fr. Kramer is pointing to it, for heaven sake!
