Santa Giovanna Antida Thouret delle Suore della Carità is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church in northern Rome, dedicated to Saint Jeanne-Antide Thouret (1765–1826).
History
The church was built in 1940 to a design by Guglielmo Palombi; it is built of pink brick in a Baroque Revival style. It is in the care of the Sisters of Divine Charity and is named for their foundress, the French nun Saint Jeanne-Antide Thouret. It should not be confused with the similarly-named Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Giovanna Antida Thouret on Via Roberto Ferruzzi.
On 30 September 2023, Pope Francis made it a titular church to be held by a cardinal-priest.
