Priests

The Parish of the Prado – Rome

The Diocese of Rome has entrusted the parish of Santa Maria del Soccorso (Via del Badile, 1 – Tiburtina) to the Prado Priests’ Association, in accordance with our status as diocesan priests.

  • A parish priest, assisted by a curate manages the day-to-day running of the parish and maintains links with the priests of the Roman presbytery.
  • The the charm of the Prado It urges us to go to the outskirts of the city, as well as to the existential peripheries, to proclaim the Gospel to the poor in the manner of Father Chevrier, and as Pope Francis reminds us today. It is a significant sign that the Prado lies at the heart of the Catholic faith. To form a community that retains the desire to follow Jesus Christ more closely, to allow itself to be guided by the Spirit of God, to reach out to the poor and to live in brotherhood – this, too, was Father Chevrier’s desire.
  •  The presence of Pradosians in Rome will help to establish Father Chevrier’s charism amongst the priests of the Diocese of Rome.


The Prado team in Rome is also responsible for supporting student priests who are affiliated with the Prado. This enables them to continue to monitor either the first training course and also meetings with continuing professional development. These meetings are also open to other priests who sympathise with Father Chevrier’s spirituality or who wish to discover it, as it is deeply rooted in the identity of the diocesan priest.
