The one who created a miracle for us.<\/p>\n

Until the end of the 19th century, the large Ukrainian community of Sokal did not have its own parish church – at that time there were two small Greek Catholic churches in the town.<\/h2>\n

Therefore, at the beginning of the new twentieth century on the initiative of Father Alexander Zubrytsky, supported by the local pastor Fr. Mykola Rozdilsky and the parishioners of Sokal, it was decided to build a majestic Greek Catholic church in the city. The work of the initiators was continued by the new Sokal parish priest, Fr. Orest Chekhovych, and later fathers Mykola Kyshkevych and Vasyl Levitsky. During the time of Father Chekhovych, the parish bought a plot of land in the center of the city, on Lvivska Street, for 15,000 kroons. And the construction of the church was entrusted to the most prestigious at that time Ukrainian builder of temple buildings Vasily Nagirny<\/p>\n
