It was erected between 1970 and 1972 to plans of Ennio Canino and Cardinal Vicar Angelo Dell'Acqua consecrated it on 29 May 1972. Two popes have visited it: Pope Paul VI in April 1973 and Pope John Paul II in January 1984.

Inside the Church is a bronze Madonna by Perrotta and a bronze crucifix by U. Montalbano. In the crypt is a series of mosaics depicting the patron saints of the native nations of the Giuliano-Dalmati, i. e., northeastern Adriatic, refugees.

The decree of Cardinal Vicar Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani, Pastoris vigilantis established the Church as a parish church on 9 March 1950. Since 1973 it has been the seat of the titulus of "San Marco in Agro Laurentino". The Conventual Friars Minor are its custodians.

gollark: > what's non-trivial about sending data from two sources?You have to actually have a backend instead of just a folder of static files behind nginx, which adds significant complexity.
gollark: Anyway, the web platform can be very fast, but people mostly don't care. I'm not sure *why*, since apparently a few hundred ms of load time can reduce customer engagement or something by a few %, which is significant, but apparently people mostly just go for easy in-place solutions like using a CDN rather than actually writing fast webpages.
gollark: Nope, it's mostly static. The SSG is actually a horrible Node script.
gollark: The website.
gollark: What osmarks.tk does is actually just make the site mostly static and have some JS pull in comments and stuff.
