Santa Brigida
Santa Brigida functions as the informal Swedish national church in Rome and remains the spiritual home of the Bridgettine Order. Its custodianship passed through an unusually varied succession of owners — from the Diocese of Uppsala to Roman canons to a French congregation to Polish Carmelites — before reaching the Bridgettine Sisters in 1930.
