Designed by architect Ennio Canino, it was built in the late 1990s[1] and inaugurated 7 November 1998.[citation needed]

The parish was erected on 28 May 1965 with the decree Neminem fugit, issued by the Cardinal Vicar Luigi Traglia, and entrusted to the secular priests of the Institute of Sodales Priests. Originally the parish was dedicated to St. Mary of the Purification. On 2 December 1996, by decree of Cardinal Camillo Ruini, it assumed its current name.[citation needed]

It was instituted a cardinal's titular church by Pope John Paul II 21 February 2001.[citation needed]

It is dedicated to Saint Liborius, who was bishop of Le Mans (Cenomanus) from 348 to 397.[citation needed]
