Dear Angela,
The church you are looking for is:
Chiesa Dei Sant Apostoli Pietro et Paolo
(Locally known as: "Sen Piyer Kilisesi")
It is a Latin Catholic (Dominican) church. Unfortunately I could not manage to contact anybody from the church.
Why don't you write a letter to them in English, or may be in Italian also.
It is better to mention also the local name on the envelope.
Full address is:
Sant Apostoli Pietro et Paolo
(Sen Piyer Kilisesi)
Bankalar cad. Galata kulesi sok. 44/A
Galata / Istanbul / Turkey
