History[edit]
Construction of the church began at the expense of the village community in 1880. Five parts of the total amount of money were raised by local residents, and the sixth part was given by local lords. Mr. Buda was the chairman of the committee that was engaged in the construction of the church. The construction work was supervised by engineer Ferrari.[1]
The church was consecrated in 1890. The parish was re-established in 1991 (the time of registration of the charter).[1]
On 25 February 2013, an episcopal visitation was held by Metropolitan Vasylii Semeniuk.[1]
The parish has the following organizations: Sodality of Our Lady, the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network, the Altar Wife, and the Mothers in Prayer community. There are two choirs at the church: the senior and youth choirs Harmoniia.[1]
