Pamphilus of Sulmona was a 7th-century bishop serving the regions of Sulmona and Corfinio. Born in Abruzzo, he faced rejection from his pagan father after embracing Christianity. Following his election as bishop in 682, he became known for his generous nature and his efforts to evangelize the Lombards. Despite facing accusations of Arianism from members of his clergy, he was cleared of all wrongdoing by Pope Sergius I, who provided him with alms to support the poor in his diocese.
