Saint Michael church, Verbiatyn

Saint Michael church () is a Greek Catholic parish church (UGCC) in Verbiatyn of the Buchach urban hromada, Chortkiv Raion, Ternopil Oblast.

History

The wooden church was built in 1893.

Until 1990, the parish and the church was a subsidiary branch of a larger church, so priests from Ozeriany served there. In 1990, the community of Verbiatyn became independent and moved to the UAOC, and in 2018 it became part of the OCU.

On 22 September 2019, Archbishop Tykhon of Ternopil and Buchach visited the parish.

Number of believers: 1832 – 224, 1844 – 290, 1854 – 361, 1864 – 400, 1874 – 342, 1884 – 823, 1886 – 823, 1896 – 412, 1906 – 522, 1914 – 482, 1927 – 501, 1938 – 580.
