UGCC does not intend to abandon the church in Kolomyia, – Statement of the diocese
The UGCC claims that the community of the UOC has performed services in the church "of free will of the Greek Catholic community of Kolomyia", until the latter builds its own temple.
"We call on everyone to calmly and justly resolve this issue," says the statement of the UGCC, but they are not going to refuse from the church.
As reported by the UOJ, the Annunciation Church was transferred for use to the community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in 1991. It is an architectural monument and was built in 1587.
