The modern church of San Pietro Celestino V is about 3 km from the village, in Pozzi di Fumone district.
It was sought and donated by Pope Paul VI after his visit to Fumone in 1966, as a sign of his veneration for the holy hermit.
The church was built in 1968 and inaugurated on the occasion of the seventh centenary of the death of Celestino V.
Pope John Paul II, today saint, granted plenary indulgence as of August 29, 1996.
The interior is a single nave and is enriched by large paintings by the vibrant colors of local artist Benedetto De Santis.
The façade has a decoration depicting the descent of the Holy Spirit on the figures of the Madonna, the Apostles and San Celestino V, made in 2001 by the master Alessandro Potenziani.
