Santi Sergio e Bacco (Ukrainian: Катедральний храм Святих мучеників Сергія і Вакха та Жировицької ікони Пресвятої Богородиці, romanized: Katedralnyi khram Sviatykh muchenykіv Serhіia і Vakkha ta Zhyrovytskoyi іkony Presviatoyi Bohorodytsі) is a Catholic church of the Byzantine Rite located on Piazza Madonna dei Monti in the rione of Monti in Rome, Italy. Sergius and Bacchus are said to have been early fourth-century Roman military officers and Christian martyrs buried in Syria. In the 9th century the church was known as Sergius and Bacchus in Callinico, in the Middle Ages as Sergius and Bacchus de Suburra, and from the 18th century forward has been known also as the church of Madonna del Pascolo. Since 1970 it has been a national church of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Rome and was known officially as the "Parish of Ukrainian Catholics of Madonna del Pascolo and Saints Sergius and Bacchus." Since 2019 the church serves as a cathedral for the Ukrainian Catholic Apostolic Exarchate of Italy.
