Patronal feasts: January 20, San Sebastiano; on August 16, San Rocco.

According to the tradition, Sebastiano was from Milan and he was an officer in the imperial army and a favorite of the emperor Diocletian. When it was discovered that he was a Christian and that he converted fellow soldiers and prisoners, he was tied to a tree, made a target by archers and beaten to death in 288. On his tomb, in Rome along the Via Appia, a basilica was built in the fourth century. The first church was built in 1486 and consecrated in 1490 and stood on the Pian de San Sebastian. The current one was built in 1786-90, consecrated in 1820 to a design by A. Del Fabbro of Tolmezzo, enlarged in 1938 to a design by the architect R. Alfarè. The altars are in marble, the two wooden statues of the high altar are by Guglielmo De Martin in Dosoledo. Attributed to Francesco Vecellio the altarpiece of the "Madonna della Purità and the SS. Rocco and Sebastiano". The bell tower was built in 1901 to a design by the parish priest Don Sante De Lorenzi.
