General information about Saint Volodymyr and Holy Martyr Omelyan Kovch Church (Peremyshliany)

The Greek-Catholic Church of Saint Volodymyr and the Blessed Martyr Father Omelyan Kovch is consecrated in honor of the late martyr of the Greek-Catholic Church, who from 1922 to 1942 was the abbot of the Church of Saint Nicholas in Peremyshliany.

During the German occupation, he saved thousands of Jews, for which he was sent to a concentration camp, where he continued to perform the duties of a priest until his death.

In 2001, during the visit of Pope John Paul II to Ukraine, Father Omelyan Kovch was beatified.

Греко-католицька церква Святого Володимира та блаженного мученика отця Омеляна Ковча освячена на честь саященномученика греко-католицької церкви, який з 1922 по 1942 рік був настоятелем церкви Святого Миколая у Перемишлянах.

Під час німецької окупації він урятував тисячі євреїв, за що був відправлений до концтабору, де до самої смерті продовжував виконувати обов'язки священика.

В 2001 році під час візиту в Україну Папи Римського Івана Павла II отець Омелян Ковч був проголошений блаженним.
