Our Lady of Peace (Italian: Chiesa di Santa Maria della Pace ai Parioli) is a Roman Catholic church located in the roman district of Pinciano, in Viale Bruno Buozzi. Since 1982 it was erected by Pope John Paul II as the Prelatic Church of the Personal Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church. It contains the mortal remains of Saint Josemaría Escrivá in a casket located beneath the main altar.[1]
