It is a vicariate under the title of the SS.MM Alfio, Filadelfo and Cirino. The present church in Lombard style with Corinthian ornamentations is a unique part with the building and it is well harmonised.

The interior has a nave and two aisles with the shape of a Latin cross, and it was built in different periods. In the past it was composed of an only small nave built on the ruins of the ancient icon the first Christians erected where the Martyr Brothers stopped in 252.

The finding of the Martyrs’ relics in 1517 and their translation to Lentini, pushed for the realisation of the new Church.

In fact in the Constitution of the Brotherhood of the SS. MM. Alfio, Filadelfo and Cirino, we read: “...In April 1593 it was built the Church where it is now for the willing of some devout persons and specially of Pietro Mazza, Leonardo Lo Faro, Luigi Bonaccorso and Andrea Bonanno"- That is a sign to establish the present Church is not in the same place where it was before.

On 7 January 1650 the General Vicar Francesco D’ Amico , in a vacancy, gave permission to extend it, so it was built bigger than the first, but always with a unique nave.

The buildings were completed in 1662, as the headstone set on the main door remembers:

Only in 1878 seen the importance of the worship, they thought to transform the Church adding the small aisle of the Crucifix, built with the contribution of Dr. Sebastiano Nicolosi Zappalà, and in 1884 on the opposite side it was built the other one, enriching them with three marble altars, that is: the High Altar, the Holy Sacrament one, and S. Joseph’s today of the Crucifix. Francesco Pennisi from Acireale painted the Tabernacle artistic small door, representing the Last Supper in 1876.

In 1887 the first bell of the 1713 broke, and it was moulded again by the Administration and dedicated to the Lady of the Graces. In 1905 Barrigozzi from Milan moulded the two bells of the clock.

The Central Chapel was started in 1899 and finished in 1908, it presents a very magnificent composition. The persons who cooperate to the execution were: Francesco Grasso for the stucco works, Eugene Timmoniere for the decoration, Giuseppe Greco for the gilding, Antonino Toscano for the door of the niche. In this niche, enriched also inside, there are the Simulacres of the Saint Martyrs in wood, sitting on the gestatorial chairs, work of the Roman sculptor Giuseppe Orlando who worked in Trecastagni in the first years of the 1700.

These statues were richly gilded on June 30th 1715, and later in 1986 colours and gilding were retouched by Ferdinando Cappellani, as we can see in the inscription on one of them. On the triumphal arch there is a gilded eagle holding a shield with the following inscription:

While in the middle of the dome of the apse on a shield enamelled in blue gilded letters we read the words:

The apse is floored in white and black marble and we note in the centre the following small headstone that is part of the hexagon drawing:

The baptismal font dates back to 1713 in red marble of Taormina in a unique piece and was given by Don Diego Bonaccorso, as it is pointed out from the coat of arms and from the following walled inscription:

DIDACUS BONACCORSO,
PER SUAM DEVOTIONEM F.
A.D. 1713

We know the statues of the Martyrs were shown, before these, to the veneration of the believers, because in 1647 the Rev. Giovanni Battista Paternò Canon of the Cathedral in Catania come here as a visitor on May 22nd in that year, says in his report:

Perpulchrae statue dictorum Sanctorum que cum multa populorum divotione et frequentia venerantur.

Besides there are three interesting paintings in the church, two of unknown painters, but certainly of the 1700, they represent:

he one on the left aisle The Martyrdom of the SS. Brothers and the other one to the right the Lapidation of S. Stefano; the third work by the nineteenth century Giuseppe Rapisardi from Catania, Maria SS. Of the Graces.

The painting of the Lady of the Graces covers a niche where there is the artistic statue in gilded wood of the Lady with the Child: it is the work of a unknown sculptor of the1700. The apotheosis of the SS. Martyrs painted in the middle of the apse by the above-mentioned painter, Giuseppe Rapisardi completes the beauty of the church.
