History
The Greek-Catholic community of Shmankivchyky was officially registered on 24 July 1991. The construction of a chapel began the following spring and was consecrated in May on Mother's Day by Father Bohdan Nedilskyi.
On 18 March 2012, the cornerstone for a new church was consecrated, beginning a new construction project initiated by Father Ivan Senkiv.[1] The church's cross was blessed on Palm Sunday in 2014 by Father Roman Lytvyniv.
Construction of the church was completed in 2018. On May 6 of that year, Bishop Dmytro Hryhorak of the Buchach Eparchy performed the consecration during the church's patronal feast.[2] The Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network brotherhood is an active part of the parish. In addition, the village has a liturgical chapel dedicated to St. George, which was also built in 1992.
