Notice of the ceremonies of reading of the Bull of indiction of the Jubilee of 1825 (Leo XII, Quod hoc ineunte saeculo, 24 May 1824), in the four patriarchal basilicas among which the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, substituted for St. Paul's

Even before this turns of events, the Basilica in Trastevere had served as a back-up to St Paul’s which, more distant from Rome’s built-up area given its location outside the walls and right by the Tiber, had been taken off the roster of compulsory pilgrim visits during the Jubilee of 1625 owing to an outbreak of plague in southern Italy; the Basilica in Trastevere also filled this function for eight days in 1700 after the Tiber burst its banks.

Archconfraternity of the Holy Stigmata of St Francis

Founded in 1594 by a Roman doctor at the church of the Franciscan convent at San Pietro in Montorio, this confraternity – whose members included some of the city’s most illustrious men – benefitted from all of the indulgences available to Franciscan clergy. Pope Clement VIII elevated it to Archconfraternity status and allocated it the Church of the Forty Martyrs in the Pigna District. The Church subsequently changed its name to Santissime Stimmate di San Francesco.
