San Felice da Cantalice a Centocelle, located in the Centocelle district of Rome, serves as Cardinal Tagle’s titular church—a tradition that signifies a cardinal’s role as a member of the clergy of Rome. Despite his current role as Cardinal-Bishop, the highest rank within the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Tagle continues to maintain a pastoral relationship with the church and its community.
