History
The former church of the Greek Catholics was taken by the Soviets after World War II and given to the Orthodox Church. The Soviets tried to forcibly merge the Greek Catholic Church into the Orthodox Church. In 1989, the Greek Catholic Church was legalized, but their former church haven't been given back to them ever since. Their new church was consecrated on August 22, 2004, which they built on a nearby plot with the support of Subcarpathian brothers living abroad.
