  This superb Gothic church was designed by Aristide Leonori, and completed in 1916 as part of the Rome convent of the Handmaids of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Ancelle di Sacro Cuore di Gesù). This congregation was founded at Madrid, Spain in 1877, and should not be confused with a Polish congregation of the same name. The foundress was St Rafaela Porras y Ayllón, who established the convent at Rome in 1892. The following year there was an administrative crisis and she had to resign as Superior, so she transferred to Rome and spent the last years of her life there. She died in 1925, and her relics are now enshrined in the church. The congregation has a devotion to the Eucharist, and a Jesuit-inspired spirituality which is reflected in the artworks contained in the church. The interior is very lush in its decoration, and is well worth a visit.
