Santi Cirillo e Metodio is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church near to Ostia, Rome dedicated to Cyril and Methodius.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The church was built in 1996–97. It is of reinforced concrete with a travertine facade.[3] Pope John Paul II visited in 1998.[4] In 2019 the pyx was stolen from the church, but recovered.[5][6]

On 30 September 2023, Pope Francis made it a titular church to be held by a cardinal-priest.[7]
